How to Update Google Play Store in Sony Xperia R1

Sony Xperia R1

Every app installed on your phone needs to be updated. To do this, simply activate automatic updates in Google Play Store or press the "Update" button on the app page. But what about the app shop itself? It turns out that you can update Play Store on Sony Xperia R1 to latest version in addition to apps. There are several ways to perform the operation.

Automatic Update

The app shop update is usually installed automatically. The user does not see this process and has no way of influencing it. Hence, to update the Google Play on Sony Xperia R1, you just need to be logged in to your Google account.

However, it is not uncommon for there to be a glitch that causes the app store to stop receiving updates. To find out if this is the case, you will need to check the current version of Google Play on the company's website and then compare it with the build on your smartphone. You can check the version as follows:

  1. Launch Play Store.
  2. Open the menu by pressing the three-bar button.

  3. Go to "Settings".
  4. Explore the information provided under "Play Store version".

If the current build differs from the current one, it is worth taking care to find the best way to install the update. Here are a few options for manually updating.

Updating Google Play Store to latest version via settings

To update via the app store settings, you will need to follow steps 1-4 from the previous instruction, and then click on the Play Store version. If it turns out to be up to date, you will see the message "No update for Play Store".

If updates are available, Google Play will immediately offer to download them. All you have to do is to confirm the download, and then the installation will take place automatically.

By clearing Play Store data

Sometimes the app store does not download updates due to a malfunction. To rectify this, you will need to reset your Google Play data using the following instructions:

  1. Go to your smartphone's settings.
  2. Open the Apps section.
  3. Select "Play Store" from the list.
  4. Click on "Erase data" and "Clear cache".

Please note that the operation will erase all previously saved information relating to the app store. That means you'll have to log in again with your Google account username and password when you restart.

But to update Google Play on Sony Xperia R1, you won't have to take any extra steps. When you restart the store, the system automatically detects the current version and installs it, and you just have to log in.

Via APK file

As Sony Xperia R1 is an Android-based smartphone, it supports the installation of apps, which is Google Play Store, not only from official sources, but also through an installer in the form of an APK file. This way you can find the current version of the shop on a specialised website (e.g. APK Mirror).

Once downloaded, you will only have to launch the APK file and confirm the installation. However, you may encounter a ban on installing apps from unverified sources. You can correct the situation with the help of the instructions:

  1. Open Sony Xperia R1 settings.
  2. Go to the Security section.
  3. Tick "Unknown sources" (the name of this menu item may vary depending on the firmware version).

Now that all necessary permissions have been given, the phone will stop blocking the installation. Consequently, you will be able to put the latest version of Play Store on your Sony Xperia R1.
