Google Play Store Redesign Rolls Out Officially
In the new design, the major change is the repositioning of the navigation tabs. Previously, the navigation tabs were placed at the top. In the new Material Design, the important navigation tabs are placed at the bottom similar to iOS. On tablets, you will get to see the categories on the left in landscape mode. However, the subcategories are still present at the top. Users will not be able to scroll sideways to move through them, that is in fact good as the app already has a lot of side-scrolling elements. The latest update is now available for everyone. If you are Android device users, then launch the Play Store for yourself and experience. We hope you will like it.
