- show the download progress on a floating bubble
Individuals at 9To5Google vigorously allowed the forthcoming “Show install progress bubble” toggle in the Play Store’s notification settings. When this feature is enabled, the installation progress of an app is shown in the form of a floating bubble. This floating bubble can be dragged to any part of the screen.

Google Play Store will receive the app archiving soon
Another interesting feature being introduced to Google Play Store is the capacity to archive Android apps to save storage space on the device. Given the November updates of the Play Store, Google proclaimed that it will soon roll out the app archiving feature to Android devices. Archiving will enable the uninstallation of an app. Where the personal data for the app will remain intact.

Furthermore, the users won’t be required to sign back into an account. Since everything will be restored back to exactly how it was left.
