If you’re wondering what that pretty green icon is that may have popped up recently on your Android device, worry not — it’s just the new Settings app from Google. You can now access preferences from Maps, Google+ and Search from one place through the app, and also see which are hooked in to the new Google+ Sign-In system we saw yesterday. Google took the unusual step of installing the app without asking via a Google Play service update, and if you haven’t seen it yet you can force the issue by going to the application manager, clearing the data from Google Play services and rebooting. With its various apps becoming more intertwined, it wouldn’t be surprising if Google dumped more settings there in the future, so you may as well get a handle on it now.
