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

31 August 2024
This feature is enabled from the server side by Google, so users don't have to do anything to enable it.

    So i figured what could possibly destroy my budget phone. It was this absolutely idiotic thing. I was fine with updating one at a time. No problem. Even if i could choose if i want to update one at a time or 3 i would be fine. Now I'm forced to update 3 at a time which kills the chip. In a 2 hour period the phone restarted 17 times by itself. I'm updating otherwise most apps are slowing down, but I don't want to lose functionality for updating. An option to update only at night one at a time when I'm not using the phone, why is there nothing like that? I don't want to update during the day, neither do i want to crush the system by having 3 updates at the same time. Don't just consider phone above a certain capacity.

      SShock, 31 Aug 2024It's so funny high end phones have more RAM and cores ... moreIts useless when you have good phone but on bad networks. With today's network technology you can download some gb app only some minutes. Imagine if you download 3-4 app simultaneously on slow 3g network. In my opinion, google not late, just wait good moments.

              Play Store doesn't update the apps automatically, it doesn't even show notifications about apps need to be updated. So I go into settings and turn off notifications. Now it shows me the bell with the number on it. It says turn on the notifications.
              So, I disabled Play Store. I won't update anything forever... Just checking how long it will take.
              This is not an innovation. It is pure...

                What's the point? Installing 3 apps one by one and installing 3 apps simultaneously should take approximately the same amount of time, shouldn't it?

                  It's so funny high end phones have more RAM and cores than some desktop PC's and you're sitting there watching apps update 1 by 1 forever. This update to 3 at once (why not 4?) is 5 years late at minimum.

                    Nice to see Google Play Store finally catching up with Aptoide’s feature of installing/updating multiple apps simultaneously. It’s a small but handy improvement that can save a lot of time for users with many updates. Better late than never, I guess

                      What we need is the feature to downgrade an app, back to 3 or more versions. Not this.

                        Aptoide has been doing this for years

                          This is should've been a thing 5 years ago. I can't believe how long it's taken Google to do this.

                            Noticed that some days ago. Works fine on my Samsung S24 Plus. Also scroll lag is gone. Navigation is very smooth. In fact play store always opens faster than ios app store. Even in midrange phones.

                              Lsi, 31 Aug 2024I just tested it it works on xperia 5 iv. UsaWorks on the LG V60, Zenfone 10, OnePlus 6, and Nothing (1), too.

                                  It lets you do it for about 3 or 4 days ago...

                                  Very good.
