Google Now launcher has been a favourite home screen launcher for Android enthusiast as it offers default, fresh and clean look of the Android operating system. However, this launcher will be soon removed on Play Store and Google Mobile Services, according to an official Google letter to all OEM.
At this moment, Google Now launcher is still accessible and downloadable on Google Play Store and there is a new Pixel launcher available alongside. Despite it is limited to Pixel smartphones only, would Google open for all Android smartphones when the Google Now launcher has been removed?
