AND Google you are concerned about both security (not to be confused with privacy) and the experience offered through Google Playhis familiar store, so he decided to introduce a small change that significantly improves the experience of browsing user notes and opinions.

The Play Store app for Android has added the ability to filter app reviews by device type. This gives the user more useful information that can help them highlight problems found when using the app on tablets, smartwatches, Chromebooks and even smart TVs. We remember that ChromeOS has been able to run Android apps for years.

Until recently, users were forced to scroll through a long list of reviews to find the ones that related to the type of device they were using. Now it will be the Play Store itself, which would have to automatically filter so that only the necessary information is displayed. Due to the great popularity and the large number of comments and opinions that certain applications accumulate, this is a feature that will certainly be appreciated by many.

What is perhaps surprising when we see the simplicity of the feature is not its inclusion, but how long it took Google to introduce it, since it was announced over a year ago with a planned deployment date of early 2022. However, and for whatever the reasons, it has arrived until September. The search giant added regional filtering last yearThe company is thus gradually trying to improve the experience offered through the Play Store.

In addition to getting information more tailored to the type of device being used, the latest Play Store update can be used to better detect insecure and/or fraudulent apps. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for a malicious app to fill its store listing with false positive reviews, so filtering by device forces them to cover multiple fronts.
