Full Story
Google is in the process of developing a new app for the Play Store called Cubes. The app was first spotted earlier this year, with early reports suggesting that it could serve as a central hub for discovering new apps across different categories. It is believed that Cubes could help users find new apps to install based on the category of apps already installed on their phone. The app is expected to store purchased movies, games, and books, making it a potential ‘entertainment center.’ An early glimpse of the app’s settings page reveals a list of “Cubes,” including categories such as Watch, Social, Shopping, Listen, Games, Read, Food, and Sandcube. Users will be able to arrange the order of their Cubes and manage the apps within each of them. It also appears that users will be able to shop from Cubes, although it is unclear what items will be available for purchase. However, due to the current lack of content in the app, it is uncertain when Google will provide more information about Cubes and its functionality for Android users.
