Google tests filters for the Play Store wishlist
Google is testing filters for the Play Store wishlist in an Android app update.
The wishlist lets people save apps and games they may want to install later.
The planned filters could sort saved items by category, sale status, release date, price, rating or name.
Google’s support page describes category filters, but they are not yet visible in the app.
The update also contains possible changes to larger buttons and a search icon with an AI-style design.
Google has not confirmed these features will launch, and code found in an app update can point to ideas that never reach users.
Google is preparing filters for the Play Store wishlist, but they are not yet available to users.
Code for the filters has appeared in Play Store version 53.5.48-34 for Android.
The planned filters include categories such as games, apps, books and Play Pass.
Other options could let users find sale items or sort entries by release date, price, rating or name.
The report says the features are in development and may not reach a public release.
