Google Play, also known as the Google Play Store and formerly the Android Market, is a digital distribution service operated and developed by Google. It serves as the official app store for certified devices running on the Android operating system and its derivatives, as well as ChromeOS, allowing users to browse and download applications developed with the Android software development kit (SDK) and published through Google. Google Play has also served as a digital media store, offering games, music, books, movies, and television programs. Content that has been purchased on Google Play Movies & TV and Google Play Books can be accessed on a web browser and through the Android and iOS apps. Applications are available through Google Play either for free or at a cost. They can be downloaded directly on an Android device through the proprietary Google Play Store mobile app or by deploying the application to a device from the Google Play website. Applications utilizing the hardware capabilities of a device can be targeted at users of devices with specific hardware components, such as a motion sensor (for motion-dependent games) or a front-facing camera (for online video calling). The Google Play Store had over 82 billion app downloads in 2016 and over 3.5 million apps published in 2017, while after a purge of apps, it is back to over 3 million. It has been the subject of multiple issues concerning security, in which malicious software has been approved and uploaded to the store and downloaded by users, with varying degrees of severity. Google Play was launched on March 6, 2012, bringing together the Android Market, Google Music, Google Movies, and the Google eBookstore under one brand, marking a shift in Google’s digital distribution strategy. Following its rebranding, Google has expanded the geographical support for each of its services. Since 2018, Google has gradually sunsetted the Play brand: Play Newsstand was rebranded as Google News in 2018; Play Music was discontinued in favor of YouTube Music in 2020; and Play Movies & TV was rebranded as Google TV in 2021. Google Play originated from three distinct products: Android Market, Google Music, and Google eBookstore. Android Market was announced by Google on August 28, 2008, and was made available to users on October 22. In December 2010, content filtering was added to the Android Market, each app’s details page started showing a promotional graphic at the top, and the maximum size of an app was raised from 25 megabytes to 50 megabytes. The Google eBookstore was launched on December 6, 2010, debuting with three million ebooks, making it “the largest ebooks collection in the world”. In November 2011, Google announced Google Music, a section of the Google Play Store offering music purchases. In March 2012, Google increased the maximum allowed size of an app by allowing developers to attach two expansion files to an app’s basic download; each expansion file had a maximum length of 2 gigabytes, giving app developers a total of 4 gigabytes. Also in March 2012, the Android Market was re-branded as Google Play. The Google Play Store, including all Android apps, came to ChromeOS in September 2016. In May 2021, Google Play announced plans to implement a new section with privacy information for all applications in its storefront. The project is similar to the App Store’s privacy labels and is expected to be fully released in the first half of 2022. The feature will show users what kind of information each app collects, whether the data it stores is encrypted, and whether users can opt out of being tracked by the application. Like all app stores, Google Play is a marketplace for developers to showcase their apps and for users to find and download those apps. The Google Play Store provides an easy-to-use interface for browsing apps and downloading the ones you want. You can find apps in several different ways, including searching by keyword, browsing featured apps and top lists, or exploring categories. When you download apps from the Google Play Store, you can install them directly to your device. You don’t have to use the web browser on your device to open the app and navigate through the website. Apps that you download from the Google Play Store will appear on your device’s home screen, and you can launch them just like any other app. Google Play is available for a wide range of devices including those running iOS. This means that you can download and access Google Play on an iPhone or an iPad. You can also download and use Google Play on other devices, such as Android phones and Windows laptops and computers.
