The latest from the Google Play Store
The market for Google applications continues to improve, gaining both in ergonomics and in simplicity, with an ever more polished design that gives pride of place to color codes while maintaining the sobriety of a white and gray background. Here are the new features that you will be able to enjoy by downloading the latest version.
Share apps with nearby smartphones
Since version 24.0 of the Play Store, Google has made it easy to share apps with nearby Android smartphones. This new feature relies on Nearby Share, Google’s AirDrop alternative.
Google Play Points
Google has recently introduced a loyalty program that allows you to earn points for each purchase made on the Play Store. These points can then be redeemed for free games, books, movies or series on the Play Store.
Recently, Google announced the disappearance of the hamburger menu. Instead of this, the Play Store transfers the menu under your portrait. To access the “my games and applications” or your subscriptions submenus, you will have to press on them. All account information will also be associated with this manipulation, but will be in a dedicated tab.
Filters to find apps faster
Google improves Play Store search with contextual filters that help find apps faster. Filters appear with certain results only, in the form of buttons.
Download data without waiting for Wi-Fi
The Google Play Store offers to download directly via data without having to wait for Wi-Fi when the latter has created a download waiting list. At the time of packages with a lot of data and 5G, this new function could make sense.
In case of insufficient space, the Play Store offers apps to uninstall
Google has thought of us with a new option on the Play Store in its latest version. The latter materializes in the form of a popup when the alert on the lack of space appears, so instead of letting us do all the steps, the Play Store offers us a list of applications that can be deleted.
Here you can find the apps that we use the least normally, and they are listed in descending order according to the space they occupy. It also displays the space you need, this will allow you to compare with the list and delete only those that will free up enough space, rather practical and fast.
Reimbursement period increases to 48 hours
Google extended the refund period to 14 days in France in 2018, we explain how to take advantage of it, because it is done under certain conditions. In fact the two-hour time limit remains, that is to say that under this time you can make yourself refund the application unconditionally and immediately. You have to go to the account tab, then order history and from there get a refund for the game or app (it’s also possible by going directly to the game or app sheet).
For the 14-day period, it will be necessary send a request to this address. Google specifies that the request will be processed in most cases within 15 minutes, but that it can take two working days. You will then receive an email telling you whether or not you will be reimbursed (most often the answer will be positive). Google surely allows itself this delay to see if the person is not abusing this kind of request.
