Android device users in the UK will soon have new ways to pay for apps and services on their devices without using Google’s solutions directly.
Almost ten months after UK authorities launched an investigation into Google’s payment practices, Now is the chance There are ways for Android users to make payments using alternative methods – which is good news for app developers too.
Google is analyzing the possibility of allowing app developers to provide users of their apps on Android with payment methods using alternative platforms, instead of using the Google Play payment system that is currently mandatory for all apps on the platform.
UK authorities have yet to accept Google’s proposal, but if the change is made, users will be able to use alternative payment methods if app developers also provide them.
It should be noted that the move only applies to the UK – the company has recently come under pressure over the payment methods it accepts and how it could affect consumers in the way they use the system.
Last year, Google began allowing several countries in the European Union to receive alternative payment methods within apps on the Play Store that don’t have to go directly through the company’s payment system.
