Google brings significant updates and improvements to Play System this month. Check the full list of the recent changes.
As XDA Developers spotted via Google's support page, the new Play System update has brought a new Google Pay rebrand called "Google Wallet." This app is likely coming soon, but there's no specific date yet for its official release.
The July update will also bring a makeover for the Material You. This is Google's design language which debuted in Android 12 OS. It's currently available on some Android handsets, including Tecno, Realme, Vivo, OnePlus, Samsung, Xiaomi, and other brands.
There's so much to look forward to here, especially for the Android developers. Since the Play System will deliver "seamless multi-device experiences." As per 9to5Google's report, the previous Google I/O event might have hinted about it in the context of "Nearby Share APIs."
