Google System April update boosts battery life

The Google System April update is here, and it’s more useful than it looks at first glance. Alongside fresh builds for Google Play services (v25.13) and Google Play Store (v45.7), this update focuses on two big things: better battery life and smarter app help.

If you’ve been struggling with battery drain, you’ll want this one. Google Play services v25.13 promises improvements to both battery life and connectivity. And it’s not just for your phone — the update covers Android Auto, PCs, TVs, and even Wear OS. Google Wallet users on Android phones can also add nicknames to their passes now, making it a bit easier to stay organized.

Meanwhile, the Play Store is getting smarter. Version 45.7 of the store upgrades the Ask Play feature. Before, it offered text-based answers about app features and settings. Now, thanks to Gemini AI, you’ll also get video answers right from the app page. Need a quick walkthrough? Just ask.

These updates might feel small, but they quietly tighten up Android’s experience. Google System updates improve device security too, and this build is no different. Google’s also pushing out the April 2025 security patch, patching over 62 vulnerabilities. Pixel phones are first in line, with other Android models following soon.

The update is rolling out across phones, tablets, Android TV, Google TV, Android Auto, cars running Android Automotive OS, Wear OS devices, and Chrome OS. So, wherever you use Android, this update’s got you covered.
