After activating a new iOS device for the first time, when setting up your phone for the first time you will want to install some apps and your first visit will be in the App Store. If you’re using an iPhone, it’s a given that you’re already familiar with how it works. Over time, Apple has made periodic updates to the App Store, tweaking its layout and features to improve usability and improve the overall experience. Now, the tech giant has rolled out yet another update.
All the new changes Apple made to the App Store focus on tabs “Games”, “Applications” and “Arcade”. Now, when you tap on any of these sections, you’ll notice an important new feature: app categories are clearly displayed at the top of the page. Category buttons aren’t exactly new to the App Store, but Apple made a smart move by moving them higher up the page. Previously, these buttons were “buried” further down, making it a little difficult to find the right category.
Although many will consider this a very small change, it certainly makes it easier for users to quickly find what they are looking for, with categories front and center, right at or near the top of each section.
App categories are one of the easiest ways to come across valuable new content in the App Store, given the sheer variety it offers. Although the exact method behind how the categories are sorted is not clearit appears that they may be personalized based on your device’s previous downloads or browsing history.
In other Apple-related news, it appears that the company is preparing a new internal app called Invites. This app could potentially make event management much smoother for iPhone users. But that’s not all – there are also rumors that Apple may be preparing to launch a separate App Store that will focus solely on games.
