Use Collections to discover new content and resume content in progress
In Google Play Collections, you can view a collection to discover new app content related to a topic or resume content that you have in progress. Some of the collections available are play games, watch videos, read content, and listen to music and podcasts. You can also browse items to shop, find food, check what’s happening on social media, and more.

Tips:
- Features like Shopping, Food, Social, and Travel may be unavailable in some countries and regions.
- Content recommendations in Collections come from the apps, and not from Google Play.
- If you don’t want content recommendations from an app, by going to Collections settings, you can choose which apps display content in your collections.
Use Collections to organize all your apps
By default, any app that’s installed and/or updated by Google Play will be organized in the App library, regardless of whether the app supports integration with Collections to recommend app content.
Within the App library, apps are automatically organized by topic, for example:
- Communication
- Finance
- Productivity
- Social
- Utilities
There are also sections for “Top used” and “Recently added” apps.
