Quite interesting features have been rolled out to Google Play generally in these recent months. In addition to the already rolled out feats, multiple features are coming to Android smartphones via the Google Play System Updates for August.
While we have the regular release of a new stock Android every year, it also applies for Google Play System Updates although it’s not annual, it comes in every month. The Google Play System Updates was introduced in Android 10 and together with the Play Store and stock Android, the Android feel is just sleek.
To check if the Google Play System Updates for August is available, you can navigate to your Settings app>About Phone>Android Version>Google Play System Updates. Meanwhile, to update the Play store, navigate to the Play Store app, tap on the avatar located at the top right part of your screen, move to Settings, tap on About and then click on Update PlayStore.
Two highlight features from the Google Play System Updates for August are the redesign of Material You and the Android Autofill’s System. However, the Material You redesign hasn’t been spotted yet even for users on Android 13.
