- Google has released a new design for the Play Store.
- The redesign removes the search bar from the top of the page and gives the store a dedicated search page accessed from the new search tab at the bottom.
- Some users didn’t get the search tab after the redesign, making it harder to search for specific apps.
It’s rare that we see the look of the Play Store change, but Google recently released a redesign. After rolling out the redesign, some users have been left without a direct way to search for apps.
First spotted by 9to5Google, Google has added a dedicated search page to the Play Store that can be accessed by tapping on the new search tab located at the bottom of the page. In turn, for adding the search tab, it appears Google has taken away the search bar that used to appear at the top of the page.
