Google Play Services Update

I'm pretty sure I got it today, because now I have "trusted places", which I believe wasn't available before the update. 6.5.87 (1599771-430)
This must be true. When I first saw s thread on this topic I checked and my Nexus 6 was running the older version. This morning I noticed it was updated.

Yes it is a silent install in the background. It does not announce when it happens or when it completes.
Checked earlier and I was on 6.1 just went into Google+ and it said I needed play services.. I clicked get play services it did nothing I could see and from reading this earlier I checked again and now I'm on 6.5.......
Yeah... my Gmail did the same. Clicked on it and my play services updated with no fanfare. I was suddenly on 6.5 or the latest.
IMHO, with limited experience thus far, battery life is dramatically improved with this update. Pleased, I am.

Yup. So that APK site is completely wrong. You do not need to match the last three digits with your current version.

Combined with finally getting over 5 charge cycles, I think the services update made a huge difference in battery life. Location services is probably the key here; I think this update makes that far more efficient.

Interesting you guys say that it's a silent update. I got a notification on my Nexus as well as one of my coworkers who bought a Gen 2 Moto G from me. Not sure but I've seen it on both?

What type of notification? A system update or an app update?

It showed up just like an app update would and took me to a screen that looked very similar to the play store but it wasn't the play store. Had the update button and clicked it and downloaded the update

it seems that if you try to open an app that needs play services updated it will prompt you and you will be taken to a different page to accept the update. otherwise it just updates itself silently in the background. this is true at least in my experience.
That's not at all what happened to me. No prompt at all. Just happened behind the scenes.

Then... You were not opening an app that needed an updated play service it just updated when the update came. (In the background). It can happen either way.
