However, we understand the urge to get the latest and greatest version on your device. Looking to update Google Play Store on your device? Step 1: Check your current version The first thing you’ll want to do is see which version you have to make sure you’re downloading Google Play Store’s latest version. This can be done as follows: • Open your Google Play Store app.
• Open the settings. • At the bottom, you’ll see “Build number.” That’s your current version. At the time of this writing, the latest version is Play Store 12.1.18. Keep in mind before attempting to update that you are sure your version of Android is compatible with the latest store version, though this shouldn’t really be a problem unless you are rocking a super ancient version of Android like Gingerbread — if that’s the case, time to replace your phone!
