New Delhi:
Google Play Store has rolled out a convenient update that allows users to download multiple apps simultaneously, streamlining the app installation process.
Downloading Multiple Apps at Once
Previously, users had to wait for each app to download individually, which could be time-consuming, especially for larger apps.
Now, with the latest update, users can download two new apps simultaneously.
Limitations and Benefits
While the new feature enables faster downloads, there are limitations. Users can only download two apps at the same time, and if they attempt to download more, the additional apps will be queued.
This feature applies only to new app downloads; updating existing apps still follows the traditional queue system.
Comparison with Apple App Store
In comparison, the Apple App Store allows three simultaneous downloads.
Google’s update reflects an improvement in managing app downloads, particularly useful when users switch devices and need to download multiple apps quickly.
Reasons for Limitations
Google may have implemented the two-app limit to prevent network slowdowns caused by simultaneous downloads.
This approach ensures smoother downloading experiences for users and reduces data throttling.
Future Updates
There’s speculation that Google might increase the number of simultaneous downloads in future updates.
This could be part of ongoing testing, with potential enhancements announced during events like the annual Google I/O developer conference.
Upcoming Features
At the upcoming Google I/O event, scheduled for May 14, Google might unveil Android 15 and introduce new features.
Speculations suggest the addition of NFC wireless charging, enabling users to charge devices without built-in wireless charging support but with NFC compatibility.
