Ask any Android fan what the best feature on their smartphone is and they’ll likely say the Google Play Store. It’s a vital part of the Android ecosystem, and Google keeps it running at peak performance by constantly releasing updates for it. However, this shouldn’t come as a surprise, as Google is known for constantly improving its operating system and apps with weekly updates.
Google Play Store update
However, the reason we are talking about the Google Play Store in this article is because the feature has just received a new update. First of all, we should mention that this is not a major update and does not bring any groundbreaking features. Although this was expected, since the Google Play Store is already packed with a wealth of features and all it needs to improve is software improvements and bug fixes.
Bug fixes
The latest update for the Google Play Store, which has build 13.1.32 and is available on Google's official APK website, focuses on improving overall system stability by adding bug fixes.
Android Package Kit
As mentioned earlier, this update can currently be downloaded in APK format. This means that interested Android users who want to get the update have to do it manually. The biggest difference between APK updates and regular updates is that APKs are not released as OTA (over the air). This is why Android users have to get them themselves. However, the good news is that installing APK updates is extremely easy and anyone can do it after enabling the “Unknown Sources” feature from the “settings” panel.
