▶ This is the new design of the Google Play Store for 2022

If you have an Android mobile, an essential element in it is undoubtedly the application store. Although there are secondary stores and websites where you can download APKs, the reality is that the Google store is undoubtedly the most recommended and the most used to buy new apps. And if you've downloaded one recently, you've probably come across the new Google Play Store design for 2022

The substantial change in the design has taken place in its web version.In fact, what Google has done is to bring the web version closer to the design of its mobile app, so that everything is more coherent. As it was for a while until the app was updated and the browser version stayed the same. This new design began to be implemented a few months ago in mainly Asian countries, but it was not until a few days ago that we began to be able to use it in Spain when we access it from a browser.

The first thing that strikes us is that it is a more minimalist design, in which white predominates and fewer boxes and margins.

With fewer margins, there is more room for application information. The images also have a larger space, and both the features of the app and the first comments about it can be better appreciated at a first glance.

Something that is particularly striking is the disappearance of the menu that appeared on the left side of the store in the browser. Now, to access it we have to click on our Google profile photo, which appears in the upper right corner of the store. In this way, the Google Play Store leaves more space for what really interests us, which is the app, and leaves the small details and menus that we may need in occasional moments a little more hidden. The Install button has also been given a bigger role, making it not only simpler but also easier to use for newbies.

The recommendations for new apps are still where they were, although they're now displayed a bit more clearly and without as much graphical distraction .

What has changed in the Google Play Store in 2022

If you are wondering what has changed in the Google Play Store in 2022, you will be pleased to know that the only new features are those related to the design that we have commented and that you can see in the images at the top of this post. There have been no substantial changes to the way the app store works, so you can continue to use it in exactly the same way as before.

Thus, you will be able to navigate without major complications through all the applications that we find in this store, read all the information about it and the comments of other users. And you can also download them, even remotely That is, if you log in to your PC with your Google account you can install apps on your smartphone or tablet directly from the computer, without the need to have the device in hand.

So, even if you're a bit thrown off by the design change, you won't need to learn anything new about the use of this tool.

In the event that you enter the Play Store and still find the old model, we recommend that you try deleting cookies, browse in incognito mode, or even try another browser. But in general we would tell you to just have a little patience, because the new design is progressively reaching to the users and it is possible that you have not yet reached you.
