In today's world, you can have various devices running different variations of Android. You can have an Android smartphone, a tablet, an Android TV, a Wear OS smartwatch, and even your car's infotainment system could run Android as well.
On all of these devices, you can download various apps. But how do you know whether an app is compatible with your TV or your tablet, for example? This is where Google's latest addition to the Play Store comes in. As 9to5Googlespotted, the tech giant is currently rolling out a new section called "Compatibility for your active devices" to its app store.
To find the new addition to the Play Store, go to the page of the application you want to download. Then tap on "About this app" and scroll to the bottom of the section. As Google explained, there you will see which of your devices are compatible with the app in question. However, keep in mind that the store will only list devices linked to your Google Account that have been active in the last 30 days.
Each one of your devices has a smaller section of its own that displays information like:
Compatibility: Tells you if the app will work on your current device
Version: Shows you what version of the app you will download
Download Size: Shows you the download size of the installation file
Required OS: Displays the required version of Android for the application to work

Keep in mind that Google's new section was first spotted on a device running version 30.6.16-21 of the Google Play Store and is currently not widely available. Therefore, it may take some time before you can see whether an app is compatible with all of your devices.
