Most Android fans don’t know this, but Google Play Services is a vital component of the Android operating system. The reason why Google Play Services doesn’t benefit from the same fame as the Google Play Store does, for example, is because Google Play Services is a background app. This means that all the high-priority tasks that Google Play Services takes care of happen in the background and Android fans never see it.
If we were to sum up the most important functions of Google Play Services, then it would have to be the fact that the service provides core functionality like authentication to Google services, synchronized contacts, access to all the latest user privacy settings, and higher quality, lower quality powered location based services. To make things even better, Google Play Services is also responsible for enhancing app and mobile game user experiences.

The latest update for Google Play Services sports the 17.7. 85 version number and it’s available to download right now. The update can be simply downloaded just by connecting the smartphone to a stable Wi-Fi network and waiting for it to arrive via OTA (over the air) channels.
