Google Play Store is a treasure trove of apps and games for Android users. It can be quite overwhelming trying to scroll through a sea of recommendations and find new apps to install. To help you in this search, the Play Store already delivers app suggestions in the form of card-like carousels. And now, with short videos as the hottest trend, the Google Play Store integrates YouTube Shorts for improved app discovery.
The first Google Pixel was incredible!
According to the official blog post, the company wants you to watch "short app-centric" videos to streamline your choices on the platform. Called The Play Report, these videos will showcase a range of app recommendations from experts, creators and Googlers. The content of the videos will range from trendy apps and games to some super underrated picks.
From the looks of it, these videos will be an extension of YouTube Shorts. These new short videos will appear prominently on the Play Store home page and will replace the usual short-style editorial picks at the top.
When you click on a video, a Google Certified creator and/or expert will talk briefly about the features of the app and/or game. If you want to download the app, you can easily do so directly from the video player by using the conveniently located Install button.
