 Google has settled a lawsuit brought on by 37 US attorneys general to pay $700 million and make four changes to its app store. Here are the four changes that Google is going to make to Android as a result of this settlement. They will make it easier to install and use third party app stores. You can install third party app stores right now, but it's a little complicated. So they say they're going to streamline that. They'll also allow users to download apps directly from a website without needing to go through an app store. Third of the four things, they will let developers offer an alternative payment option alongside Google Play to US users through something they've been testing called the user choice billing system. You have to go through this billing system and Google takes 26% of the payment rather than 30%. And fourth of the four things they're going to do, uh, let developers mention other subscription offers to lower cost options available at other app stores or the developer's own website.
