Android: 10 more January additions across Play Store and Play services

It’s getting creepy, Google is really starting to detail every little update that comes with new features or changes. Google has only been providing detailed information about the so-called Google Play system update for a few days. There is now a changelog that lists all innovations and changes.

Google had actually published a January issue long ago but has now added a few entries. These further innovations will be provided via app updates for Google Play Services and Google Play Store, which have been rolling out since January 14th.
