Google has launched a new website aimed at helping you customize your Android homescreen. One of the biggest advantages Android has over iOS are its many customization options. And Google is now trying to ensure you're taking full advantage of those options with the Android Taste Test.

While geeks will argue their OS of choice is best, in reality both Android and iOS have their positives and negatives. However, one area where they do differ is customization. While Apple likes to remain in control at all times, Google wants you to make your smartphone your own.

Testing Your Aesthetic Preferences

The Android Taste Test is available on Google's #myAndroid microsite. And the test is designed to help you, "Craft your home screen just the way you want it". Google does this by asking you a series of questions related to your aesthetic preferences.

These questions are all multiple choice, and based on visual cues. Which means anyone should be able to take part without having to strain their gray matter. At the end of the Android Taste Test, Google will recommend various elements for you to add to your phone.

These recommendations will cover wallpapers, icons, launchers, widgets, and keyboards. You can then just click on the 'Download Now' button to be whisked to the Google Play Store. It should be noted, however, that Gboard is recommended every single time even though other cool Android keyboard do exist.

Make Your Android Unique to You

With Android powering 9 out of 10 smartphones, Google clearly feels a sense of responsibility to help people get the most out of their smartphones. After all, the more owners make their Android their own, the more likely they are to stick with Google's operating system in the future.

Do you own an Android? If so, will you be taking the Android Taste Test? Or have you already customized your homescreen to suit your personal preferences? What else should Google do to help Android users make their phone their own? Please let us know in the comments below!
