Google after the creation of its famousoperating system "Android" has organized for its users a convenient and centralized storage of applications. The first name was Android Market, but then it was renamed to Google Play. The reasons for installing Google Play on the device are few, because every new device in most cases already contains an application store "out of the box."
What is Google Play for and what does it consist of?
The Google Play store is an ordinaryAn application that allows the device to connect to a huge database of ready paid and free software products. For its work, you must have an account in Google, with which you authorize. Google Play automatically ranks available applications for this version of "Android" and shows only that content that will really be possible to run on this device.
There can be several reasons for the installation.For example, if you installed a third-party firmware on your phone that does not already have Google Play ready. Or there is a need to use the application for "Android" on a personal computer. Or it may be that the owner of the smartphone accidentally deleted the store after obtaining the superuser rights and now left without access to the applications.
