Google has the operating system for smartphones Android increasingly modular over the years, thus creating the conditions for upgrading individual components separately and completely independently of each other. who has the door for them Google system updates created, the first round of which will be rolled out again to all users in May these days. There are many improvements in the Google Play Store, but also when changing devices.
Google System Updates is a fairly recent lineup of updates consisting of operating system components that can be updated directly from the Play Store. Previously this was known internally as “Project Mainline” and changes were only communicated publicly in rare cases. But with the updated name, transparency has also increased, and detailed information about improvements is provided several times a month.
Google system updates are separate from updates to Google Play Services and updates through the Google Play Store. While system updates are really related to the operating system, the game services are responsible for the staging and framework. The Google Play Store updates the apps used by the user and is therefore at the top of the now three-tier update pyramid. However, in the month of May, most of the updates are related to improvements in the Google Play Store, as in almost every month.
Here are the details of the second update round in May. These are dated yesterday, May 9, and will most likely be followed by another update in a good two weeks, but that can’t be predicted. There is no set procedure for this, but it has been easy to observe in recent months. Below you will find the latest updates. A new addition is media selection for use by application developers.
