A new Google Play Store interface is now being implemented for all Android users. It looks mostly the same as before, but it rearranges the store design and streamlines the menus, so finding the app will be different. Then a quick tour of the new design of the Google Play Store app, where you can see where the various sections now reside.
A new navigation menu
The first thing you’ll notice is the new search bar and profile menu. Your Google Account profile is still listed at the top right, but the burger menu that used to spend time next to the search bar is no longer there. Instead, tap the profile icon to open a new menu overlay.
At the top of this menu is your Google Account information. Tap the down arrow to change, add, or manage other accounts on your device. Here you can also see alert notifications when you open the Play Store.
G / O Media may receive a commission
Below, in the new menu window, there are shortcuts to other sections, including:
- My apps and games
- Library
- Payments and subscriptions:
- Pay Protect
- Notifications and offers
- Pass the game
- Game points
- Configuration
- Help and comments
Almost all of these pages look the same as before, with a couple of exceptions, including the new “Library” menu, where you’ll find a link to the Play Store wish list and shortcuts to view your video purchases on the Google TV application and your ebooks in Play Books (note that this Library menu is different from the Library section of the folder “My apps and games” (showing all Play Store purchases).
Revised configuration menu
The other changes are in the Settings menu, which has been reorganized into four separate sections with several submenus:
- General: Includes account preferences, notification settings, download preferences, dark / light mode themes, and other application-related options.
- User controls: Options for adjusting purchase authentication requirements and whether applications are installed automatically after purchases.
- Family: Parental controls, parental guidance information and family group management.
- About: Check the application version, Play Protect certification status, and other license details
All four sections are folded by default; tap the header to see all your preferences and information.
Browsing and buying is still the same
When it comes to Play Store browsing, the experience is pretty much the same as before: select from Games, Apps, Movies and TV and Books in the tabs at the bottom of the screen, or swipe between categories. such as recommendations or main graphs. , news, and more in the search bar, which you can use to find specific products by keyword.
The new Google Play redesign is part of the latest application update and should appear after the new version is installed. If not, tap and hold the Play Store app icon from the Home screen, tap the button “I” icon, then select “Forced stop.” Restart the app and you should be in the new Play Store digs.
