Android TV Core Services 6.8.3-649018147-f

A free update for Android TV Core Services

Android TV Core Services is a free support package from Google, which works by updating the core services used by Android TV devices, such as the YouTube, Google Play Music and Google Play Games apps. Crucially, this update is carried out independently from the TV's operating system.

Keep apps up-to-date

The free update will work on all Android TV devices that are running the Android 8.0 'Oreo' operating system or higher and will mean that core services can be updated to the latest versions, without needing to perform a full Android operating system update. This will allow users to update their apps, even when new operating system updates are not available to them.

Independent Core Services update

Ultimately, the real value in the Android TV Core Services APK is that it allows Android TV users to update the core services on their device, without updating the operating system. This enables users to run the latest versions of the core apps, even when they are unable or unwilling to update Android itself.
