Google removed a useful feature for the Play Store

Google has removed a useful feature for its Android store Play Store. Some users complain.




Google has recently brought an update for its Android app store Play Store. Many useful improvements and features came, such as improvements to the Play As You Download feature, new features to Play Pass and Play Points programs, improvements to Google Play Billing, improvements to Play Protect.


In addition to the arrival of many features with the new version, a useful feature has also been removed. Users will no longer be able to see when an app's last update has arrived. Here are the details.


Google Play removed the last update information

The Play Store has removed the ability to see when apps were last updated. Although it is an advantage for users to get information about the time of the last version of the application, Android users will now have questions about this issue. Other information such as file size and version number are still viewable.




The cancellation of this feature first came for only a few users in November, so the company must have wanted to gauge users' reactions. This pre-made process also shows us that Google has planned this ahead of time.


Seeing the date of the last version allowed many users to see how often the app they were downloading was updated. Now there will be no such opportunity. Those who have already installed the application will have to periodically check whether a new update is available. It is surprising that this feature has been removed, although it does not harm application manufacturers or the Google Play Store.


The feature, which was removed in the mobile store, is still available in the browser store. If you are wondering about the last release date of an application, you can find out by entering the Google Play Store from your browser.

Some of the users who were subjected to these trials in November complained about the current situation. While some expressed these complaints on Reddit, others stated that they were considering switching to iOS devices due to this move of Google.
