August's Google Play system update is live with AutoFill UI and Material You additions 

Google has just pushed out Android 13 to the public, but brand-new Android releases aren’t the only updates coming to modern Android devices. Google has started offering public changelogs for Google Play system updates this year. Those are releases that upgrade part of the underlying infrastructure of your phone without touching the OS itself, as Google detached certain modules to make them more easily updatable on the fly. The latest in line are the August 2022 update notes, and they have some neat enhancements in store for us.

Compared to the July 2022 release, there haven’t been updates to the Play Store partition of the Play services — the changelog remains exactly the same across the two updates here.

Those who frequent the Android Help app for support are in for a pleasant update, though. Google notes that it has switched out the app's theme for one with Material You’s dynamic colors. There is also a new settings screen for Google Play services that is supposed to offer clearer visuals and better control.

Another neat addition is a new UI for AutoFill. While we don’t have this new interface on any of our devices just yet, we’ll be on the lookout for what exactly has changed as the new update is rolled out.

All of these updates are available through Google Play Store version 33.22, which was released on August 18 and is currently in the process of rolling out. To check your current version, open the Play Store, tap your account icon, head to Settings and then the About section. Here, you can both view the current version and update it. It’s possible that you won’t get the newest release right away, though, as Google uses a staged rollout model and only makes new versions available to more people over time, even if you smash that button.
