The Google Play Store is rolling out two new changes - a Search tab and a bottom bar that remains visible while searching for apps or other items. The Search tab offers personalized app and game suggestions, while the bottom bar features a rotating magnifying glass icon and a new look for the Apps, Games, and Offers tabs.

Two changes are about to hit the Google Play Store . You'll know when the update has arrived on your phone since there is a"Meet the Search tab" prompt that will first appear. The prompt says in smaller print,"Discover incredible apps and games with new personalized suggestions ." The new Search tab is one of the two changes coming to the Android app storefront. The other is a bottom bar that doesn't disappear when you look up an app or search for something else.

When you use the Search tab on the updated Play Store, you'll see that the bottom bar remains on the screen which isn't the case pre-update when you use the search bar at the top of the Play Store tabs. Having the bar stay on the screen makes navigating the app quicker and easier.has a habit, and it's not a bad one mind you, of always looking to play around with its core apps looking to improve them. This is something that we should be applauding, not complaining about.
