Google Play Services is one of the most essential apps in the Android ecosystem and the reason why so many people don’t know what it does is because this is a background app. Google Play Services takes care of lots of important tasks and the one stands out the most is the fact that it enables both native Android and third-party apps and games to receive automatic OTA (over the air) updates.
Since Google Play Services is vital to the Android ecosystem, it shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that Google is always updating it. The Android parent is renowned for releasing updates on a regular basis for its most important apps and a brand-new update has been recently released for Google Play Services. With that said, today we are going to check out everything there is to know about the latest update for Google Play Services.
