There is a new version of Google Play Services that can be downloaded to your Android device. There are several novelties included in this new development, so it is important to have it on your phone or tablet as soon as possible. We will provide the corresponding APK so that it can be installed manually without complications.
The Google Play Services platform is the one that communicates all the products of the Mountain View company (and third parties) with Android, which limits the effect of fragmentation that exists in the development of Google itself. The fact is that by having this development installed, you can take advantage of all the functions of the existing applications, regardless of the version of the operating system you have. This is a simple explanation, of course.
New arrivals
The new one version 8.1 is available and contains some very interesting new features (apart from the usual bug fixes and synchronization improvements). But, perhaps, the most striking is that there is very clear evidence of the arrival of Android Pay to this job (rumors of the launch last week were just that). This obviously indicates that Google's payment gateway platform is definitely very close to being a reality, as the necessary steps are being taken so that everything works as it should when it is deployed. Unfortunately, the use of the new job is disabled, so it is not possible to use it at the moment.
Improvements have also been detected in the performance of Google Play Services, since now the synchronization and communication with applications, especially those of Messenger service, is better. By using this new development myself, I found that jobs like WhatsApp or Hangouts give the feeling that they go much more fluid.
Download and installation
If you want to install the new version 8.1 of Google Play Services with Android Pay you can do it this link. Here you will find the installation APK -look for the one specific to the architecture of your terminal- that you must use (click on it) once you have it on your Android device. It will ask you to activate the Unknown Sources, do it without fear since the file is signed by the Mountain View company itself and, therefore, you will also continue to receive future updates.
Other interesting applications for the Google operating system you can find them in this section de Android Ayuda, where there are creations of all kinds.
