Later this month, Google will release a small list of system updates, including some important device fixes and some changes to the Google Play Store.
February Android security update coming to Pixel! ❤️🔒 #pixel #security #update
According to Google’s update page , the February update will fix a number of bugs related to device connectivity, system management, security, tools, and developer services. More specifically, it means general improvements to device stability, networking, and security. And in the case of developer services, it will add new features that both Google and third-party developers can take advantage of. Things like support for accessibility, ads, analytics, and even machine learning.
But the Google Play Store has the longest list of them all, with everything from performance optimizations and bug fixes to security and stability improvements. Play-as-you-download will see improvements to reduce wait times, allowing you to play mobile games while they’re downloading. That goes hand in hand with other planned optimizations intended to speed up download and installation times.
The update notes also mention "Improvements to Google Play Billing," but don't elaborate on what those improvements will be. And there are also new (unspecified) features being added to make it easier to discover more apps and games.
