• Google Play Store could soon sport a header that is fixed in place on app listings.
• This header will include key app details, such as the icon, name, developer’s name, average rating, and more. It would also include the Install button.
• This change would make it easier to install the app from any position of the app listing.

Most Android flagships ship with the Google Play Store out of the box, so it is natural for the platform to evolve into the premier destination for exploring apps and games on these devices. Google does a lot of work to protect users on the Play Store while balancing the interests of app developers who choose to list their apps on the platform. App developers are advised to create detailed and rich app listings to give the user as much information as possible before a download. However, the trade-off is that the app listing becomes too long, and the Install button is no longer in sight. An upcoming Google Play Store change could fix this by making the Install button a permanent part of the app listing.
