Google Play Store Store Advertising invades "search Bar History"

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Coje_He and Wu Yanzu in South China for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 8 (Xinhua) Google's Google update in April 2023 brought a series of upgrades, including Wear updates to extend battery life, improved privacy and the stability of Android Auto, PC and Android phones, as well as ways to push ads to consumers through the Google Play store.

Based on changes posted on its support page, Google has introduced new features to help users find their favorite apps and games. "Mobile users will be able to see time-limited event suggestions and sponsorship suggestions next to past searches when they start a new search." Users can observe this behavior without any input, just click on the search bar in the Play store.

According to some users, the Google Play store began to display app ads in the search-related interface.

Previously, Google's Play store had ads everywhere, but the only exception was the search bar of past searches. Now, in addition to advertising, you can also display the highlights of applications and games, and these banners will disappear once, usually not a second time.

CTOnews.com note: this update will be pushed to users through the April 2023 Google system update and Google Play Store v35.0 and later.
