Google has already started to roll out its April updates<\/strong> for the so-called \u201cGoogle System\u201d\u2014which is what they collectively call the updates to the Android operating system, Google Play Store<\/a>, and Google Play services<\/a>. New changes that hadn\u2019t been announced at the start of the month include the Autofill feature\u2019s support for virtual cards and the discontinuation of the Find My Device app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported a few weeks ago, Google Play is getting new features and fixes this April 2022<\/a>. Most of these updates focus on improving the app\u2019s services to all users, but new additions<\/strong> to the list also tweak some of the minor issues to help make Google Play an important app on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in the previous news, Google Play is only getting a few major changes<\/strong> this month. The highlights of this are the new features for the Play Pass<\/strong> and Play Points<\/strong> programs and the improvement on the Play-as-you-download<\/strong> feature\u2019s waiting times. There are more miscellaneous feature updates and fixes involved here but they still are as equally important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some late changes added, however, get more specific in what they offer. For one, Android\u2019s Autofill<\/strong> feature, powered by Google Play Services, now supports virtual cards<\/strong>\u2014and you should expect an updated Terms of Service soon. Another update is the addition of a pop-up<\/strong> that suggests you regularly back up your images to Google Photos<\/a> if your device is also set to automatically back up to Google Drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last new update is Google Play finally discontinuing<\/strong> the Find My Device<\/a> 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<\/strong> and are mostly for mobile devices so simply check if you have the update ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
