Android, being a highly versatile operating system, offers compatibility across various devices such as smartwatches, TVs, tablets, foldables, laptops, and phones. The Play Store serves as the official platform for accessing apps and games on all these devices. However, not all apps available on the Play Store are optimized for every screen type. While an app may perform well on phones, it may not be suitable for tablets or TVs.
To enhance the app-finding experience, Google is working on implementing new filters in the Play Store. As spotted by @AssembleDebug on Twitter, Google Play has initiated testing for a new row of filters on the app installation screen. These filters will empower users to select a specific form factor, such as TV, Phone, Watch, or tablet, to filter out apps that are compatible with their chosen device. The selection of a filter will modify the app listing accordingly. Additionally, reviews and ratings will be specific to the selected form factor. This improvement will simplify the process of finding the right apps for individual devices.
According to the tipster, this change is part of Google’s recent addition called “Install on other devices,” which allows users to install apps on different devices linked to the same Google account. This testing appears to be connected to Google’s ongoing beta run, in which users can choose a form factor for their reviews before posting them on the Play Store. Moreover, Google has recently introduced a dedicated filter at the top of the page, enabling users to filter apps based on their device.
Google is now taking a step forward to provide users with an easy way to check the compatibility of apps with their specific devices. This enhancement will enhance the overall user experience on the Play Store.
