TL;DR
- The Play Store could get a dedicated seek tab, according to newly discovered evidence.
- This seek tab could substitute the seek bar seen at the top of the Play Store.
Searching for content on the Google Play Store is an easy endeavor, as you simply use the seek bar at the top of the app to type your seek. Now, it looks admire Google could be expanding seek functionality in a future version of the storefront.
The GApps and Leaks Telegram group discovered evidence that the Play Store could get a dedicated seek tab. This seek tab would be accessible via a button at the bottom of the app, alongside the existing apps, games, and books tabs. The seek tab would display seek suggestions too. Check out the screenshot on the left.
It’s believed that this seek tab and dedicated page could substitute the top seek bar, as the right-hand screenshot shows. That seems admire a step back for the user encounter, requiring two taps to commence a seek. We really hope the top seek bar stays, so we’ll have to foresee and see how this all works in the final release.
Otherwise, Google is also working to label government-affiliated apps, and the Telegram group indeed found evidence of this badge. “Play verified this app is affiliated with a government entity,” reads a purported description spotted by the group.
