Google Play Update Makes It Easier to Find Android Apps with Widgets
Google has announced several changes to its widgets system on Android that will make it easier for app developers to reach their users. The company is preparing to roll out new features to Android phones, tablets, and foldable devices, as well as on Google Play, aimed at improving widget discovery. These updates include a new visual badge that displays on an app's detail page and a dedicated search filter to help users find apps with widgets.
- By making it easier for users to discover and download apps with widgets, Google is poised to further enhance the Android home screen experience, potentially leading to increased engagement and user retention among developers.
- Will this move by Google lead to a proliferation of high-quality widget-enabled apps on the Play Store, or will it simply result in more widgets cluttering users' homescreens?
