Google Play updated to allow removal of apps on "All" list

0. phoneArena posted on 11 Oct 2012, 18:56

A new incremental update has started rolling out to the Google Play Store, which allows users to remove apps that are listed in their "All Apps" list. This feature may not be big for many users, but we think it's one that our readership should get quite a lot of value from...

Finally! My AllApps was getting a little too congested for my taste. Great update!

All I need now is the apps to be in alphabetical order. Then it will be complete.

Yes, definitely a good move. I was already thinking about writing a feature request about google play. But the store app works not very comfortably, after deleting an app from list, it refreshes it and goes back to the start of list.

Another useful feature would be an ability to delete the app from list on play store web, more comfortable and efficient than clicking on phone.

I was reading on Droid-Life you can select multiple apps and remove them.

I say this update is great. Lol my all apps list has grown to be more like a trip down memory lane of app history, I completely agree

Freaking took me 2 hrs to remove all unwanted apps in All! Google play should have better had a way to multiple files selected f**k!

19. zohayb posted on 12 Oct 2012, 03:24

Um it does.
You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go
Bet you wish you knew this before didn't you? I wonder why phone arena didin't mention this also the fact that now
The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot.
And
The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.
The notification icon after installing an app now shows the app icon instead of something generic.

Is this an internal update? Or do we download an actual new Play Store App, from the Play Store? That seems weird lol.
