Google Enables Private AI-Created Android Apps and Enhances Play Store Features
Google has introduced a feature allowing users aged 18 and above in select markets, including the US, to create private Android apps using Google AI Studio without publishing them publicly on the Play Store. These personal apps remain private and comply with Google Play policies. The company also enhanced app discovery with AI tools like Ask Play for side-by-side app comparisons and plans to integrate Play content into its AI assistant. Additional features include personalized game recommendations and future options to share private apps with friends and family.
