Google is adding a small but genuinely useful upgrade to the Play Store, and it should make your next movie night a little less confusing. The company has started rolling out a new \u201cWhere to watch\u201d section inside Play Store search. So when you look up a specific movie or TV show, you\u2019ll also see which streaming apps currently host that title (via 9to5Google<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Play Store is cutting the pain out of finding where a movie or show streams<\/p>\n

For example, let\u2019s say you want to watch a popular movie or series but have zero idea where it might be streaming. One easy way to handle this you can search for the title on Google search, and that might be the inspiration for what\u2019s coming to Play Store.<\/p>\n

So when you type in a movie or show title on the Play Store, it will show a card listing services where the show is available. If you don\u2019t have one of these apps installed, you don\u2019t need to hunt for it manually. A quick install button appears right below the listing.<\/p>\n

There is one limitation, though, and Google doesn\u2019t hide it. The Play Store<\/a> tells you where a title is available, but it doesn\u2019t clarify whether the show or movie is included with your subscription or if you\u2019ll need to buy an add-on. This is where things get a bit tricky.<\/p>\n

Even with that caveat, the upgrade makes Play Store search feel more modern. It fills a gap that has existed since movies and shows shifted out of the Play Store into their own app. The feature is rolling out gradually, and it may take a bit of time before it shows up on every Android device. Once it lands, searching for something to watch should feel a little less painful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google is adding a small but genuinely useful upgrade to the Play Store, and it should make your…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":297263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[12430,165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-297262","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-google-play-store","9":"tag-mobile","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
