Alongside the release of iOS 17, Apple began introducing a revamped App Store with hand-picked recommendations and later introduced the “Behind the App” series.
App Store Revisions in iOS 17
iOS 17 has been released, users are seeing an updated App Store, and Apple says: AppleInsider We’re told this is part of a plan to further help with app visibility and recommendations.
Initial new features are focused on the Today tab, which Apple says improves the way related apps are presented to users. In addition to direct links to apps, the Today tab also includes articles written by Apple’s App Store editors that describe apps and topics.
These articles and recommendations are organized into sections to help you explore the topic further. In addition to documentation, Apple says it will also provide more video guides for apps.
Coming in fall
The Today tab in the App Store in iOS 17 will receive further updates later this year, with a new section highlighting in-app events and games. The idea is to draw attention to apps that are useful but, for some reason, less well-known.
It also includes a new series called “Behind the App.” As with today’s App Stories, we’ll delve into app development, with a particular focus on what Apple deems innovative in the App Store.
The App Store started in 2008 and has spawned an entire industry of mobile developers ever since. But recently, pressure has increased on the company and Apple, and it is expected that the company will be required to allow third-party app stores on iPhones.
These new App Store updates for iOS 17 will help users looking for apps, but if Apple succeeds in improving app discoverability, it could persuade developers to stay on the platform. Helpful.
