Google has updated its Play Services to version 26.28, allowing users to display their device's IMEI number on the lock screen, which can aid in device recovery but may pose security risks. This feature is server-side and may not be available on all devices immediately. Other enhancements include audio permission requests in WebViews, Android Credential Manager support for Android TV, and various quality-of-life improvements.
The Play Store has been updated to version 52.4, introducing natural language queries for search, expanded search suggestions, limited mobile data usage for app restoration in India, Nigeria, and Indonesia, and the option to add app widgets during installation. Users can update their Google System Services through their device settings.
