I am about to release an update for my companies android app. The previous guy who wrote the app has now left, and I was just wondering how I change what appears in the What's New section in google play.
I can't find any guides anywhere!? I read somewhere it's to do with a changelog?? But is that something I should've compiled within the apk? Is it something I should upload separately to the developer console?
Thanks

In the Google Play Store, the "What's new" section for every Android app with an available update now claims "No information from the developer". This is happening even when developers spend their time writing text for the "What's new" section for the apps they publish.
In order to see the new feature, Android smartphone users can go to the Google Play Store and bring up the updates section. Here, if any apps have an available update, they'll be shown at the top, while other apps are shown in order of having been updated with the most recent closest to the top.
The Play Store menu icon (at the upper-left corner of the screen) accesses the Play Store Options menu. The options vary depending on the screen in which it was accessed. Options can include: Store home, My apps, Shop apps, Shop music, My wishlist, People, Redeem, Settings, and Help.
Launch the Play Store, slide out the menu and tap on Settings. From there, scroll to the very bottom of the list where you will find a "Build Number" entry - tap on it. If an update is available, you'll receive a prompt like the one above.
As of early May 2017, the release process has been in constant flux. The current way of modifying release notes of an app that you've already released, is to:
On the resulting page, tap the small (i) (info) icon next to your APK, as also shown in this screenshot, and you'll find the notes at the bottom of the dialog that pops up, along with an Edit button.
If you don't see the circled "ℹ", it might be pushed off too far right and clipped by the browser. It changed a couple of days after I took this screenshot.
