Google extends Play system update November with even more patches

At the beginning of this month, we reported on the November Google Play system update. Several issues were addressed in this. It is now clear that Google has further expanded this update with even more patches and improvements.

Google Play November update expanded

We wrote about the November Google Play system update in early November. With the monthly updates that appear herein, bugs and errors are fixed for an improved user experience. These updates are different from security updates; they are distributed by the manufacturers themselves, usually after Google has released them. Google Play system updates are pushed to the devices by Google itself, usually without you realizing it. You can also search for this manually in the settings menu.
