- Earlier this year, Google began working to enforce the minimum app listing for system services in the Play Store.
- These listings do not include the review section, nor are users allowing apps to be classified.
- Customers are now starting to see this new format for system services.
Should all app listings make the same? At first glance, expecting the same thing to expect all the app in the Play Store may be understood: description, screenshots, device compatibility, and a place to submit and read reviews. At the beginning of the year, though, we began to be aware of a change on which Google was working on, which will seriously eradicate the content available in the Play Store list for some apps, resulting in only a basic summary on a minimum app list. And now it seems that this new scenario is starting to widespread.
Not all apps are equally built, and the first time we saw that at least the new play store layout was all Android system services. The majority of users will never have to think twice, try to draw them to the play store. At that time, we had speculated that Google’s argument for this change could include a consumer’s apps to restrict our ability to overcome our frustrations from unwanted system behavior.
As the release has been healed by the release, we have started receiving reports from users who are now watching the new listing format on their devices.
The difficulties are, you will not stumble any of them naturally – these are not apps that most people find first place, and they will not even show them regular search. But if you are browse installed apps on your phone and tapped out of curiosity – well, now you have no excuse to be surprised.
