Play Store updates with new layout for large screens.
Updated Play Store now offers split-screen search and games and apps optimized for large-screen devices rank higher in Play Store .
At Google I/O 2022, the tech giant announced a number of changes to how the Play Store appears on large-screen devices such as tablets, foldable phones and Chromebooks. Now, the tech giant has released a completely overhauled version of its app with four major changes that improve user experience and make quality apps easier to find.
Google has reorganized the app and game detail pages. Multi-column layouts are now supported on large screens. As for games, titles with high-quality video will now display a video banner at the top of the app listing page, making it easier for users to see what the gameplay is like. I was.
Apps and games that meet Google's criteria for large-screen devices rank higher in the store. This change also affects Editor's Choice and other curated collections and articles, making it easier for users to find apps that are properly sized and not letterboxed.
The tech giant is also working on new features that will give you a preview of how the app will look on your device and help you decide whether to install it or not. Google says the feature will roll out at the end of August with a warning at the top of the app's detail page.
Apps optimized for large screen devices are now prioritized over apps that don't scale well or don't look good. As part of the UI revamp, bottom tabs are now displayed on the left side of the device when held in landscape mode. The Top Charts and Categories section is now available on the Apps & Games home page, and Kids is now the primary tab on widescreen devices. Another big change is that Searching for apps in the Play Store now offers a split-screen experience, with half showing the search results and the other half showing the app details.
All of the above changes will be rolling out to large-screen devices like foldables, tablets, and Chromebooks in the coming weeks, so you may have to wait for the new interface to roll out to your device.
