by In a significant update to the Google Play Store, Android users can now enjoy the convenience of downloading multiple apps simultaneously. This feature, which has been in the works for some time, is now being widely rolled out to all Android devices.
Google Play Store Rolls Out Simultaneous App Downloads for Android Users
The simultaneous app download capability is available for Android devices running Android 14 and Google Play Store version 40.6.31.
With this update, users can download and install two apps at the same time, streamlining the process and saving valuable time.
When attempting to download a third app while two are already in progress, users will notice that the third app will display a “Pending” status.
The download will commence once the first two apps have finished installing. This ensures that users can queue up their desired apps and have them download seamlessly.
The concurrent download feature eliminates the need for users to wait for one app to complete its download and installation process before moving on to the next.
This enhancement brings the Google Play Store closer to the functionality offered by Apple’s App Store, which allows for the simultaneous download of up to three applications.
It is worth noting that this simultaneous download capability is currently limited to new app downloads and does not extend to application updates.
Users can easily check if the feature is available on their device by attempting to download two apps at the same time.
The introduction of simultaneous app downloads on the Google Play Store marks another step forward in improving the user experience for Android users.
With this update, Google continues to refine and optimize the app downloading process, making it more efficient and user-friendly.
