Google has introduced a visual redesign that users will notice the next time they open the Play Store. The update adds a dark mode option and groups categories into larger tiles. It changes the layout and icons, with a goal to enhance navigation.
At the same time, users are trying out open-source app stores. A recent survey showed the top alternative, with many users saying that these stores provide more control over permissions. Separately, the Play Store inventory now includes Galaxy Watch 8 sales.
