Google has finally introduced a long-awaited feature to the Play Store: the ability to download and update multiple Android apps simultaneously. This significant improvement will save users considerable time, especially when setting up new devices or restoring from backups.
Previously, the Play Store could only handle one app installation or update at a time. This often resulted in frustrating delays, particularly when dealing with a large number of pending updates. With the new feature, users can now experience significantly faster app installations and updates.
While the exact number of simultaneous downloads and updates may vary depending on factors like network speed and device performance, users who have got it have confirmed that at least three apps can be processed concurrently. This is a significant step forward compared to the single-app limitation that has been in place for many years.
When you attempt to update all your apps, the Play Store will prioritize three of them for immediate download and installation. The remaining apps will be placed in a “Pending” state and will be processed as soon as the initial three are complete.
2. Is it available on all devices?
The simultaneous app download feature is currently being rolled out gradually to Android users worldwide. While not everyone will have access to it immediately, it is expected to become available to a wider audience in the coming weeks.
3. What does this mean for Android users?
The ability to download and update multiple apps simultaneously is a welcome addition to the Play Store. It significantly improves the overall user experience and makes it easier to manage your app library. Whether you’re setting up a new device or simply keeping your apps up-to-date, this feature will save you time and effort. Apple has long offered similar support for installing up to three iOS apps at once.
