Some important late changes to Google Play’s April 2022 updates

Google has already started to roll out its April updates for the so-called “Google System”—which is what they collectively call the updates to the Android operating system, Google Play Store, and Google Play services. New changes that hadn’t been announced at the start of the month include the Autofill feature’s support for virtual cards and the discontinuation of the Find My Device app.

As previously reported a few weeks ago, Google Play is getting new features and fixes this April 2022. Most of these updates focus on improving the app’s services to all users, but new additions to the list also tweak some of the minor issues to help make Google Play an important app on your device.

As mentioned in the previous news, Google Play is only getting a few major changes this month. The highlights of this are the new features for the Play Pass and Play Points programs and the improvement on the Play-as-you-download feature’s waiting times. There are more miscellaneous feature updates and fixes involved here but they still are as equally important.

Some late changes added, however, get more specific in what they offer. For one, Android’s Autofill feature, powered by Google Play Services, now supports virtual cards—and you should expect an updated Terms of Service soon. Another update is the addition of a pop-up that suggests you regularly back up your images to Google Photos if your device is also set to automatically back up to Google Drive.

The last new update is Google Play finally discontinuing the Find My Device app on business-owned devices that have an Android Work Profile. All of these are now available on the Google Play services version 22.12 and are mostly for mobile devices so simply check if you have the update ready.
