If anyone wants to track app changes and their reviews statuses changelogs help with that. Some users complain that there is no maintenance on the News. A user noticed that some changelog of the Google app in the Play Store has not changed for many years. The changes listed here were introduced tens of years ago. Nevertheless, the app in the Play Store indicates that all this would be new.
The changelog does not contain any current innovations anymore
Google app is extremely important for the company on mobile devices. We find it a bit strange to neglect them in this regard. But the question arises, especially with the Google app, whether a changelog makes sense at all. Google now delivers many innovations via server-side updates. It’s rarely the case that a new feature is actually enabled for users through an app update. Innovations are only integrated into the source code via new updates.

Update information within the app
A sensible solution would therefore be to continue to keep the apps up-to-date via the Google Play Store, but to inform about real innovations elsewhere. For example, directly in the app when a new function is actually activated for the user.
If the Google app has received new functions in recent years, there has often been a blue toast message directly in the app. For example when the new main menu was introduced.
