Google Play Store Removes Version Numbers From Android App Listings

Thursday August 4, 2022. 01:20 AM , from Slashdot
In response to user criticism, Google Play is bringing back the list of app permissions, but another curious Store change sees version numbers removed from the App info section. 9to5Google reports: Historically, you've been able to find the version number by opening a listings's 'About this app' section and scrolling down to 'App info' where it was the first line item. As of today, 'Version' no longer appears there (or in the phone section of 'Compatibility for your active devices') and 'Updated on' is at the top. This information is only gone for the phone version of applications. It curiously remains for Wear OS and Android/Google TV apps. Meanwhile, version numbers still appear on the Google Play website. This issue does not appear related to (or just impact) apps that only note 'Varies with device.'
