Google Play Store's first 'Labs' feature lets you 'expand everything'
Google has introduced an experimental 'Expand everything' feature in the Play Store, accessible via the new 'Play Labs' settings menu. This feature allows users to automatically view expanded search results, though it reduces the number of items visible on the screen at once.
