Google Play Store now lets you install or update up to three apps simultaneously

Updated on September 3, 2024: Google is now letting Android users download up to four apps/games at the same time from the Play Store.

Original story: For years, Android users have had to wait for the Play Store to complete installing or updating the apps/games on their devices since they could only install/update one app/game at a time. However, starting in April, Google allowed users to simultaneously install two apps, and now, Google lets users install or update three apps or games at the same time through the Play Store.

If you have more than three pending updates, and if you click on "Update all,", Play Store will begin downloading and installing updates for three apps or games simultaneously, while the status for the rest will be displayed as "Pending."

Google letting users update or install up to three apps simultaneously is appreciated since it helps save time by reducing the waiting period. Google is yet to make an official announcement regarding this, but it appears the internet search giant has begun the broader rollout of this feature. We've got it in India, but not on all devices, meaning it's a server-side switch and simply having the latest version of Play Store on your device is no guarantee of being able to install/update three apps at the same time.
