Google Prepares 8 Play Store Collection Widgets for Android Home Screens

Summary
Version 52.1.26-31 of the Play Store app shows Google preparing standalone widgets for eight individual Collections: Food, Game, Listen, Read, Shop, Social, Travel and Watch.
The change would let Android users pin a single favorite category to the home screen instead of relying on the current two widgets that bundle multiple Collections together.
Existing widget layouts can hide some categories depending on size, so splitting Collections into separate widgets appears aimed at faster access to the sections users use most.
Android Authority said the feature surfaced in an APK teardown and is not live yet, meaning Google could still change or drop it before a public release.
