Google introduced a new full screen notification prompt for updating apps, making it easier for users to update to the latest version of the app with a single click.
Android Gets In App Updates Prompts To Users
We saw a recent update on the Android Developers Blog, A new tool shared by Google that prompts updates to users for a better experience. Updating apps to the latest version is so important because it has bug fixes and provides some new features. Updating Apps can also provide security and protect users’ devices from hackers and fraud. It is a good idea to keep Apps updated to the latest version to ensure that users are using the best version of the App.
As we know App updates are delivered on Android through the Google Play Store in the section of Manage apps & device to check updates. Google makes it easier to install all pending updates with a single click or you can set up auto update. Google Play always helps users to enjoy the latest versions of your app through auto-updates or in-app updates. Most users updates their apps this way and some still stuck on outdated version or broken version of apps.
As we can see in this screenshot shared by Google, Apps on devices will prompt updates when a new app version is available to update the app. It may have turned off automatic app updates in users’ device settings. If the user is using the old version they will see a prompt each time the app is opened which will direct them to update on relevant store. Users can ignore this prompt or continue to update the latest version.
To deploy this new feature log into Google Play Console and head to your Releases or to the App Bundle Explorer page, where you can choose the app versions where you want to deliver the prompts to users. Google also says the implementation is also available through the Play Developer API, and will soon support target multiple outdated app versions at once but the targeted app versions need to be built as app bundles.
Google also gathered stats that over 50% of users are responding to the prompts to push companies and independent developers towards the new system and Google also enabling more users to get the best experience of the app.
