Google Play Store preps new tools for app discovery (Update: Screenshots)
  • Google appears to be working on an “interests” system for Play Store app discovery.

We can see Google presenting the “interests” chips in the Play Store, ranging from Communication to Productivity to Photography. The “Based on your interests” section appears after you make a selection, displaying some popular apps based on your interests, helping in app discovery.
