✦AI Summary
Google has begun allowing third-party app stores, such as Aptoide, to be listed directly within the US Play Store following legal pressure from Epic Games. This marks a shift in Android's distribution model, potentially opening the door for other competitors.
Following the latest twist in Google’s legal battles with Epic, US Android users are now able to open Google’s Play Store and download a third-party digital store with its own selection of apps. Aptoide, a store specializing in mobile games, is the first to become available.
