Users who have already downloaded apps will also routinely check the store to see if long-awaited updates have gone live. Removing such a crucial piece of information is an odd move as many users check how frequently apps are updated before downloading them to see how well supported they are.
Following the tests, the feature was brought back, and it seemed as if the Play Store was going back to normal for good, but as of now, the “last updated” section is gone for all Android users. This change seems to have been a long time coming as Google tested the waters in November by removing the feature for select users, however, it was met with backlash from fans. Although other information such as file size and version number is still publicly available in the Google Play Store, the removal of the “last updated” feature in the UI has puzzled many users. The feature is standard across most mobile app stores as it serves as a useful tool for mobile owners to stay informed about their software, but now Android users are being kept in the dark. The Google Play Store has removed the ability for users to see when apps have been last updated.
