You can discover new app content and resume content you have in progress directly from your home screen using a new space from Google Play called Collections. Collections automatically organizes your apps by topic and highlights personalized content recommended by your apps. You can access this space through a widget, which can be customized and added to your home screen.
Use Collections to discover new content and resume content in progress
In Google Play Collections, you can view a collection to discover new app content related to a topic or resume content that you have in progress. Some of the collections available are play games, watch videos, read content, and listen to music and podcasts. You can also browse items to shop, look for food, or see what’s happening on social media.
- Widget: Through a Play widget, you can view your apps’ content recommendations directly on your Android home or app screen.
- To jump directly into an app, tap a recommended piece of content.
- To enter the full screen experience, tap the icon for a collection.
- Full screen: You can view related apps, resume content you have in progress, discover new content, get recommendations, and view recently used apps all in one place with the full screen experience.

Use Collections to organize all your apps
By default, any app that’s installed and/or updated by Google Play will be organized in the App library, regardless of whether the app supports integration with Collections to recommend app content.
Within the App library, apps are automatically organized by topic, for example:
- Communication
- Finance
- Productivity
- Social
- Utilities
There are also sections for “Top used” and “Recently added” apps.
