But in version 50.2.11-31 of the Play Store for Android, some users are starting to see a new summary up top, including the total number of active subscriptions as well as a tally of how many Play Points you\u2019ve earned as a result.

Check out the profile switcher:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"play store subscriptions 5\"  alt=\"play store subscriptions 5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/play-store-subscriptions-5.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"play store subscriptions 6\"  alt=\"play store subscriptions 6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/play-store-subscriptions-6.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While we used to have that view on the left, complete with a running Play Points total, we\u2019re now seeing the switcher drop that display and replace it with a message pointing you elsewhere to check on your Play Points \u2014 a message that takes up even more space than the old view did.<\/p>\n<p>All told, that\u2019s a bit of a mixed message concerning Play Points, but we\u2019re still happy to see the convenient new subscription view. Look for these changes hitting the Play Store on your own phone soon.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
