Google Play Services sits at the core of the Android operating system and it takes care of important tasks such as synchronizing account information, contacts and improving the immersion of mobile games. Despite playing such an important role in the premium Android user experience, most Android fans don’t even know what Google Play Services does. The reason why Google Play Services is not as famous as the Google Play Store is because it is a background app.
Nonetheless, the best example of how important Google Play Services is to the Android parent is to check out the constant rate of updates that Google release it for. In fact, Google Play Services has received a new update yesterday which improves its software stability.
