This OS has many useful features and a bright, clear interface. In addition, it is quite democratic: changes can be made to many elements of the system, as well as to freely install various software. Even though developers strive to limit free access to root rights (“superuser rights”), people find ways to get it. Such rights will allow you to make adjustments even to system files, so that the system can be changed beyond recognition. A separate topic can be considered the installation of applications. To do this, Google would create its own content store called Play Market. In this article we will talk specifically about him. So, Play Market: how to update, how to install and how to use the resource?
How to install the application on your gadget?
When purchasing a new device, the Play Market content store application Android should already be installed. You can find it among other built-in applications. If for some reason you do not find it (for example, if you bought an unlicensed device or the firmware was custom), then the Play Market also exists as a regular web page. In addition, you can install the application by downloading the boot file from the Internet or by moving the apk file to your smartphone or tablet.

Many users worry about this, fearing for the safety of funds. Do not worry, Google is one of the largest and most reliable systems in the world.

After confirming all the data and successful authorization, you can go to the Russian Play Market. If the child uses the device, you can enable the parental control function to protect the baby from inappropriate content.
Play Market: how to update
Like any other application, Play Market needs updates. Platform developers regularly release new versions, fix bugs and improve store quality. It is very important that it is always up to date. As a rule, the application is updated automatically, and you just see in the notification line a message that the application has been updated. In the "Play Store" settings, you can set the auto-update method, for example, only via Wi-Fi, always or never. In this case, you will have to do the installation manually for the Play Market.

Find the item "About the application", there you will find the column "Version of the Play Store".
