At the beginning of this year, Google announced that it would keep Android users informed about the improvements and bug fixes of Google Play system updates in the future. Details about the Google Play system update from May have now been announced by Google, and a small improvement is very useful.
What’s new in the Google Play system update?
Google has on its support page announced bug fixes and new features in the May Play system update. A few things stand out this month. For example, this update makes sharing files between your Android devices easier and the Google Help app gets a new design. This app may now be more in line with the Material You design theme that Google introduced with the Pixel 6.
Google’s AirDrop competitor ‘Close sharing’ also gets an improvement. This makes it possible to easily share files between devices that are signed in to the same Google account. This makes it unnecessary to approve a file that you share with one of your own devices. It’s a small adjustment, but a very handy one. Google mentions in the fine print that you need version 22.15 of the Google Play services app to do this. So take a look here in the play store whether you have the latest version.
The Dutch version of the support page is still on April and the May system update has not yet arrived on the phones in the editorial office. Have you already received the Google Play system update from May? Let us know in the comments below this article.
