WHAT IS GOOGLE PLAY?
With rare exceptions, Android devices are pre-installed with Google Play, a digital marketplace that gives developers a location to sell and distribute their apps to an ever-expanding audience of Android users. When Google Play first debuted in 2008 as Android Market, it went through several identity crises before landing on the Google Play that everyone is familiar with today.
Navigating to the app or game page inside the Play Store and selecting Install will allow you to download the respective app or game. Many applications will be free, others will have in-app adverts, some will be paid for, others could let users make in-app purchases, and yet others might provide a combination of all of these options.
WHAT IS AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY?
Google operates the online store Google Play to promote the Android ecosystem. The Google Play Store, an online store where users may download, buy, and rent a variety of digital material, is the main component of the Google Play system. While the 2-million-app Play Store is Google Play’s main focus, the suite also includes a number of additional services including system updates and entertainment. Let’s look at it.
Google Play Store
The center of Google Play is the Google Play Store, where you can access the vast selection of applications and games produced by Google as well as any independent developers that want to give their Android apps the most visibility possible.
Google Play Movies & TV (Google TV)
In order to meet your entertainment needs, Google Play Movies & TV provides a selection of movies and TV series that you can buy or rent. It did, at least, prior to Google’s March 2022 announcement that Google Play Movies & TV will be included into the Google TV app.
Google Play Games
Along with applications, games, eBooks, and movies, Google Play also includes Google Play Games, a no-cost cloud-based service that improves gaming by granting users access to social features, achievements, and leaderboards for titles that work with the service.
