I won't go into its details but you can see all the information about this feature in this <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/google-play-collections-3463812/" title="">AndroidAuthority article</a>. Google has released the feature but it is only available for US users and plans to expand it outside the US as well. <div><br /></div><div>But if you know about Google, that might even take months. In case if you have got a phone which is rooted, you can enable it now and even outside US. Two users from my telegram group have tested this method and it worked for them. I can't guarantee the same thing for everyone though. In this post I am listing the tools and necessary steps which is required to enable the feature. </div><div><br /></div><h3>Required Things</h3><div><ol><li>App manager - <a href="https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/releases/tag/v3.1.7" title="">Download from GitHub</a></li><li>Play Store (42.0.20) • <a href="https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-42-0-20-release/" title="">Download from Apkmirror</a></li><li>A rooted phone</li></ol><h3>How to enable </h3></div><div><ull><li>1.
