Google to display more ads in Play Store

New Playstore design

Google might not have spotted just yet how much more the Play Store can contribute to its ad business than it’s currently doing. Google has been pushing more and more ads on the platform. The latest addition of ads on the platform will be happening under the “Suggested for You” section of apps.

Although they have already replaced proactive recommendations with paid ads on the platform, Multiple ad displays were reported by different users.
