Google Play Store to remove ‘last updated’ information of apps

Published

Google Play Store Update

Google‘s recent decision to remove the public display of dislikes from YouTube is not going down well for creators and viewers alike. However, despite fierce criticism from around the world, the company appears to be preparing to take some important information, this time from the Google Play Store.

According to the AndroidPolice report, Google is preparing to remove the “last updated” section from the Google Play Store app list. Many users have reported to Reddit that this information is not in the full app description. The AP team also noticed this change in some of their devices. The web version of Google Play Store still shows when the app was last updated.

As of now, this seems to be an A/B test among a small group of users. But once fully released, most users will not enjoy this change. By hiding information about when an app was last updated, Google makes it impossible to know if the developer supports the app.

Many Android developers leave their apps in the Google Play Store for a variety of reasons. If the app has not received any updates in a few years, it will not be able to use or be supported by new devices. Therefore, by simply looking at its “last updated” date, you can avoid downloading it. But now, Google will not allow users to see this information, which makes them download useless apps.

Google seems to be making some unnecessary changes to the Google Play Store
Google often makes UI changes and updates its first-group applications. The Google Play Store has been redesigned several times in recent months. But not all of these UI updates make things better or easier for users.

The latest major redesign of the Google Play Store, released in May this year, made things unnecessarily difficult. Now, by deleting the “last updated” section of the list of apps in the Google Play Store, Google has again unnecessarily tried to fix something that isn’t broken.

Samsung has just released a fresh update for the Home Up app with version 16.0, which adds support for One UI 7. We have a first look at the new features in the Samsung One UI 7 Home Up app, thanks to tipster Vince Lawrence.

The fresh update is packed with features that are sure to enhance the user experience for Galaxy device owners.

One UI 7 support delivers some highly requested features that many Galaxy users have been dreaming of.

Features of One UI 7 Samsung Home Up

New Animations Settings:

Home Gestures Animation tuning

One of the most amazing additions in this update is the new animation tuning for home screen gestures. Users can now choose from three different animation styles:

  • Pixel by Pixel – Enjoy the feeling of pure animation
  • The Scent of a Certain Fruit – Feel the sweet taste of red fruit
  • Simple Tuning – Pick between fast animations or more emotional ones.

Beyond these options, there is an option for Advanced tuning Settings that let you adjust specific aspects of the animations.

Advanced Tuning

With this feature, you can customize details like damping, stiffness, and friction for how icons move and scale. Users can also customize where icons track, and there’s an Interpolator option to tweak how the icon scale animations work. This means you can make the animations your own.

In addition to this, the Advanced tuning also includes options for scale, duration, and blur settings for the Home screen and Wallpaper.

Large Folder

Another noteworthy feature is the introduction of the large folder option. You can now choose between medium and large sizes for your app folders while keeping the size of existing large folders the same.

This gives you more control over how your home screen looks and helps you organize your apps better. You can also adjust the folder grid and change the icon sizes, adding to your personalization options.

Pop-Up Folder

The update also enhances the pop-up folder functionality. Users can now customize the size of pop-up folders with options for small, medium, and large. Additional settings allow for variable sizes, fixed positions, and even options to hide the edit bar and remove blur effects.

This next level of customization provides a cleaner, more organized interface while ensuring that users can access their favorite apps quickly.

Overall, the One UI 7 support for Samsung’s Home Up app offers a range of new features that many Galaxy users have been looking for. With fresh animation settings, flexible folder options, and improved pop-up folder features, this update enhances the way you interact with your device.

It’s important to note that these features aren’t available to all Galaxy users yet, but the company soon make them available for eligible devices.

Samsung users have been facing a frustrating issue with the NotiStar app on their Galaxy phones. Many users have reported that they receive duplicate notifications for messages regularly. This issue occurs with messaging apps and regular text messages.

Instead of one notification, users are getting two for every single message. For example, if a friend sends a message, the user receives its notification twice. It means that users are observing the same notification being displayed twice.

Samsung has acknowledged the duplicate notification issue of NotiStar. In addition, a community moderator has reassured users that the team is actively investigating the issue. He mentioned that Samsung will improve this phenomenon in an upcoming app update to fix the duplicate notification issue.
