After the first notes months ago, the new version is now gradually reaching users, but distribution will take a lot longer again.
Google Play Store finally loses its navigation drawer
The biggest discoveries can already be found on the start page because the button for the main menu (navigation shelf) is missing. Google moves the main menu open space from place to place, which is already implemented in other applications such as Google Maps and Google Photos. If you are looking for your library and apps and games, tap your profile picture in the upper right corner of the new version.
