Android Authority employees recently discovered a new feature in the Google Play Store’s code, targeting mobile gaming enthusiasts. The innovation is a section within Google Play aimed at helping users remember to complete games they have previously installed on their devices. This feature should assist gamers who often download games but forget to finish or even start them.
Details of the Activated Feature
Experts managed to activate this new section in Google Play Store version 43.4.23-31. The section displays all games installed on a device, encouraging users to return to each game’s completion. For games that have been installed but never launched, the section even shows the download date and time, adding a subtle reminder of each game’s existence on the device. This reminder system aims primarily at users who frequently install applications or games, only to later forget about them.
Similar Developments from Apple
Interestingly, a similar feature has been announced by Apple, which plans to launch a new application that will collect games (installed and from the App Store), alongside game tips, achievements, and leaderboards, adds NIX Solutions. As this competitive innovation progresses in both Google Play and Apple’s platforms, we’ll keep you updated on these developments.
Google’s new reminder feature is expected to benefit users who need a prompt to return to their gaming experiences, making it easier for them to enjoy and complete games already on their devices.
