Google Play now supports fullscreen videos for app listings, as well as an interest picker feature for discovering new apps.



Google shared some exciting updates this week for both Android developers and users, with a focus on upcoming changes to Google Play that will benefit consumers.

One significant change is the introduction of portrait videos on app listings, allowing developers to provide a fullscreen view of their apps to enhance user engagement. Additionally, Google announced the expansion of interest pickers to regular Android apps, giving users the ability to specify their interests directly within Google Play.

Another new feature is Cart Abandonment Reminders in the Play store, designed to gently remind users about abandoned shopping carts and encourage them to complete their purchases. Users can also now utilize fingerprint or facial recognition for quicker checkout.

For Android developers interested in more technical details, Google has shared information on increased Android SDK release frequency and the upcoming addition of Gemini to Android Studio.

Exciting changes are on the horizon for Google Play users and developers alike.
