Google Play: Updates for Security and Storage Management
Summary
Google released major Play Services (v26.19) and Play Store (v51.5) updates ahead of Google I/O, delivering UI and security improvements. The storage-management interface now uses Material 3 Expressive and the system adds account-migration changes for phones and WearOS. Android Credential Manager support arrives for vehicles so stored passwords and passkeys can be used in cars, and passkey authentication via smartphone is supported; theft-protection features expand to new UK devices and Android 17 enables remote and automatic lock by default. The Play Store introduces Play Collections, in-store search of app content, offensive player-name reporting, enhanced game streak statistics, and feedback options to improve recommendations.
