About Google Play Services
But there is no way to interact with the app directly. Some users wonder why it takes a significant amount of space and why can’t they remove it, especially since it can appear to be quite large. As some of the more tech-savvy users may know, the Google Play services app is not an app per se. It is, in fact, a fusion between a background service and a collection of APIs which are harnessed by other apps to complete a large number of tasks.
For example, one of the most important APIs is the Google Maps one, which allows other apps to display a map and access location services without the need to use the main Google Maps app. Those who love to play games or them titles will also interact with the Play Game Services API, which is employed by the developers to grant access to multiplayer modes, achievements, and leaderboards. Progress in games is saved and synchronized across all devices with the help of the Saved Game API.

Developers will also use the Mobile Ads API to monetize apps by allowing the display of advertisements within their apps.

As the service is built as a core part of the system, new updates are released constantly. Google Play Services 20.15.15 update comes with fresh bug fixes and stability enhancements.
