Google Play big change: you can download two apps at the same time!
If you see the tablet in the shed next door, you might want to buy it.Welcome the first “computer” application in 14 years. Google has been silently improving the functions of its own Play Store app store on the Android system. Recently, it was discovered that it has officially lifted the previous restriction of being able to download only a single App at the same time, which will allow Android to gain greater flexibility in use.
Although not as heroic as when a small number of tests were discovered in 2019, you can download 5 apps at once (really bold!). However, foreign media 9to5Google recently discovered that the Google Play Store application service seems to have officially unlocked the freedom to download multiple applications at once after version v40.6.31.

As far as foreign media information is concerned, it can already be played on the Android 14 system. The editor has tested it on the Pixel 7 Pro in hand and indeed has such a function.
Does that mean that unless you just buy a new phone and install apps continuously, you usually think that there is little chance that this function will be useful? Personally, I am looking forward to being able to have more than 2 apps download updates at the same time when updating apps – yes, the current Play Store app still limits new installations to downloading multiple apps at one time. On the other hand, it is said that on the iOS side, it already has the freedom to download 3 applications at the same time (I always feel that Google should at least open up to this number, or let users provide the option of upper limit according to the situation?)
Readers who want to try to see if their device already has this support may consider turning on the option to automatically place newly installed apps on the desktop. Then go to the Play Store to find the apps or games you want to experience recently. Start multiple app downloads at the same time, and you can see these apps queued up on the desktop. If there are two downloads in progress at the same time, it means that your Android device already has this degree of freedom.
If you don’t like your desktop cluttered with new apps, you can quickly check the latest status of the Google Play Store through the drop-down notification bar. If you have unlocked multiple apps and downloaded them at the same time, you can see multiple “Downloading” statuses appearing in the expanded notifications.

Recently, Google has also brought many updates to the Play Store app. including ableA new experience of automatic archiving that actively squeezes out mobile phone space. There is also a corresponding “reminder” notification tool that caters to developers’ urgency in requiring users to update.You will be notified of updated apps via full screen in the future. improvements. These are all Google’s recent efforts to improve the app store experience. I recommend that you try them out!
