US-based technology giant Google seems to have taken a new decision that will directly affect Android users. Users who received the April 2023 system update of the Google Play Store began to see more ads in the application store. While this move by Google increases its own revenue sources, it can put users obsessed with advertisements to a nervous breakdown. Because the mobile world is now completely dominated by advertising.
According to the feedback of users who received the Google Play Store April 2023 update, when the application store was opened and searched, limited-time events and sponsored suggestions began to be displayed. To remind the past; When you opened the Google Play Store and searched, you only saw the last four search histories. This situation will now change and users will begin to see advertisements in this area.
This is how new ads in the Google Play Store will look like:
