Google is implementing updates to Google Play on Android to improve the visibility of apps that use widgets. The new features include a search filter specifically for widgets, widget badges on app details for better recognition, and a curated page dedicated to showcasing top widgets. Product manager Yinka Taiwo-Peters noted that these changes aim to address historical challenges in widget discoverability and user engagement, ensuring developers see value in creating and maintaining widgets. These enhancements will be rolled out soon.
Historically, one of the challenges with investing in widget development has been discoverability and user understanding.
The badge eliminates guesswork for users and highlights your widget offerings, encouraging them to explore and utilize this capability.
