Google Play Store Is Getting A Few Major UI Changes

Google's Play Shop app isn't a regular in the news section when nosotros are talking about upcoming new changes and improvements. While the app routinely gets maintenance updates, UI changes, if whatsoever, are rare for the Play Store. Reports now confirm that the company is testing multiple changes for the Google Play Shop, including a renamed Entertainment section and a new banner.

Upcoming UI changes in Google Play Store

Published past AP, the report outlines various upcoming changes that Google is testing for its Play Store app. These UI changes include:

A renamed Entertainment section with new descriptive proper name
Different look for carousel for featured items, which now sports smaller images
A new green Play Store imprint for increased make visibility
And, the removal of the large search bar for a new, smaller icon

Starting time, the Entertainment department which was recently renamed, gets another revamp. The Amusement section would now be chosen Movies, Music, Books. Seriously, we need that much description? The "Apps and Games" and "Movies, Music, Books" sections have besides been relocated to the peak of the featured images.

Moving along, in that location'southward also a new look for featured items. Currently, carousel images stretch from left to right and backside the search and status bar. The new, smaller images remain in their own space offering a cleaner look.

Google is also removing the large, omniscient search bar, which contained Google Play branding, icon to start voice search and the hamburger menu for a smaller icon. The new look sports that cleaner look, but information technology does restrict search functionality to a tiny icon on the elevation right.

Now, to the worst of these changes - Google Play Store branding. Everytime you open Play Store links from other apps, you will encounter a giant big green imprint to increment brand visibility. Could expect a little too much.

This is probably the biggest revamp that Google Play Store has received in a long time. Google is seeding these changes as a beta test, so it's unsure if all of these changes will brand information technology to the last release. Don't forget to share with u.s. if you corroborate of these changes.
