Google Play’s web interface is a really convenient way to install apps on your Android phone. Unfortunately, it holds on to all of your Android devices—even ones you no longer have. Here’s how to hide them from that installation menu.
Google Play的网络界面是在Android手机上安装应用程序的一种非常便捷的方法。 不幸的是,它可以保留在您所有的Android设备上,甚至不再使用。 这是从安装菜单中隐藏它们的方法。
Basically, every new Android device you add to your Google account is included in Play’s installation menu on the web. Now, most people aren’t going to be adding new devices every week, but users who like to flash custom ROMs often will see some weird effects: the ROM causes the device to be registered as a new unit on the account. In other words, if you have a Nexus 6 that has been flashed 12-15 times, there’s a solid chance you’ll see that device listed on your account 12-15 times. It gets a little ridiculous.
基本上,您添加到您的Google帐户的每台新Android设备都包含在网络上Play的安装菜单中。 现在,大多数人不会每周增加新设备,但是喜欢闪存自定义ROM的用户经常会看到一些奇怪的效果:ROM导致该设备被注册为帐户中的新单元。 换句话说,如果您的Nexus 6闪烁了12-15次,则很有可能会看到该设备在您的帐户中列出了12-15次。 这有点荒谬。
But even that aside, no one needs to see their old phones listed in the installation menu, because odds are you aren’t going to be installing something onto an old handset.
但是除此之外,没有人需要在安装菜单中看到他们的旧手机,因为很有可能您不会在旧手机上安装东西。
The good news is that you can pretty easily control which devices show up in Play’s installation menu.
好消息是,您可以轻松控制在Play的安装菜单中显示哪些设备。
To get started, you’ll need to go to the Google Play website from your web browser. It’s worth mentioning that while you can do this from your mobile device, it’s much easier from a computer.
首先,您需要通过网络浏览器访问Google Play网站。 值得一提的是,尽管您可以通过移动设备执行此操作,但从计算机上轻松得多。
In the top right corner of Play’s web interface, you’ll see a handful of options: Google Apps, notifications, account, help, and settings. The last one—denoted by the cog icon—is what you want. Give it a click.
在Play的网络界面的右上角,您会看到一些选项:Google Apps,通知,帐户,帮助和设置。 最后一个-由齿轮图标表示-是您想要的。 点击一下。
Once clicked, a menu will open with two options: Settings and Android Device Manager. While the latter seems like the logical option, that’s not what we’re looking for here. Android Device Manager is Google’s device locator and has nothing to do with the setting you’re after. Instead, click “Settings.”
单击后,将打开一个菜单,其中包含两个选项:“设置”和“ Android设备管理器”。 尽管后者似乎是合理的选择,但这不是我们在这里寻找的。 Android设备管理器是Google的设备定位器,与您需要的设置无关。 而是单击“设置”。
This will open the “My Devices” menu, which is exactly what you want. This menu should show all of your devices, old and new, with several options for each. It’s broken down into categories to easier help you figure out what is what.
这将打开您想要的“我的设备”菜单。 此菜单应显示您所有的旧设备和新设备,每个设备都有多个选项。 它分为几类,以更轻松地帮助您确定什么是什么。
If you’d like to rename any of your devices to something specific instead of the generic Make-Model-Carrier format, you can do so by clicking the “Edit” button on the right side and giving it a new name on the left.
如果您想将任何设备重命名为特定的名称而不是通用的Make-Model-Carrier格式,可以通过单击右侧的“ Edit”按钮并在左侧为其重新命名来实现。
If you want to hide the device, however, simply untick the “Show in menus” option. That’s pretty much it.
但是,如果要隐藏设备,只需取消选中“在菜单中显示”选项。 就是这样。
The changes will take a few minutes to show up in Play’s installation menu, but once they do, you’re done. Congratulations.
更改将需要几分钟才能显示在Play的安装菜单中,但是一旦完成,就可以完成。 恭喜你
