Google Play Store to soon allow users download multiple apps at the same time
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google is reportedly testing a way to reduce app update times through parallel downloading instead of the current sequential system. The company is currently working on a new update that will enable simultaneous downloads in the Play Store.
With the latest Play Store update, version 40.0.13, Google is focusing on parallel installs. This update contains experimental flags that, when activated, enable simultaneous downloads.
Citing the personal testing, the report also confirms their functionality, with screenshots available to demonstrate the parallel installation process.
While the feature is helpful, there are also limitations. The report further reveals that Google might not extend parallel installs to app updates within the "Manage apps & device" section. Selecting "Update all" or individual app "Update" buttons will likely result in sequential updates, one app at a time. Additionally, Google has set a default limit of two simultaneous downloads. However, this limit can be adjusted - testing successfully increased it from two to five downloads.
The older devices may face limitations to handle simultaneous downloads, especially for larger updates. This necessitates the need for further beta testing before a wider rollout. Despite this, the parallel downloads feature promises to be a welcome update for Android users. Its arrival marks an exciting development, bringing Android in line with a feature already available on the Apple App Store. This functionality will ultimately lead to a more efficient and user-friendly experience when managing apps on the Play Store.
