Google is soon to tweak the Play Store to make it more accessible to download lengthy app listings. An upcoming update for the Play Store would introduce a sticky header to app listings carrying essential details and the Install button.

However, this change is going to change the way how people use the Play Store.

Currently, long descriptions for apps cause the Install button to get pushed off-view. Users are forced to scroll way up to initiate downloads.

Google's update would pin the header at a fixed place such as the icon of the app, its name, developer's name, and its average rating, and an Install button.

This way, applications would install smoothly from any listing position. There's no need to scroll down for lengthy descriptions to find the Install button.

As a result, the user experience would be enhanced, app discovery would improve, and developers could expect increased downloads.

Reportedly, Google is rumoured to implement this feature into the Google Play Store. Once it happens, the installation of applications would become an easy process for users.

The change in the Google Play Store would enormously affect the number of downloads. The sticky Install button simplifies app downloads for users and plays a vital role in the promotion of applications for developers.
