Google has created lots of useful apps but if we were to pick one that is considered to be necessary on all smartphones, then Google Maps would get our vote. After all, this app makes it possible for users to navigate the world faster and easier by providing them with access to detailed maps of more than 220 countries and territories alongside hundreds of millions of businesses and places.
Considering that millions of people are relying on Google Maps to get safe navigation routes, the Android parent needs to make sure that the app is always running at peak performance levels. The way that Google is doing that is by constantly releasing new updates.
