You can now install or update up to four apps concurrently from the Google Play Store

03 September 2024
That's one more than App Store downloads for iOS users.

"However, those who manually update apps or set up new devices often (like us reviewers do) would find this useful since it helps save time by reducing the waiting period."
When you set up new devices, you'll finish installing all apps before you start testing the devices, right? In that case, this won't help save time. The waiting period will be pretty much the same.

    I don't see how it will save time. It doesn't matter if you install 4 apps one by one or install 4 apps concurrently. The time it takes will mostly be determined by the write speed of the storage, which is fixed. Writing multiple files simultaneously doesn't increase the write speed. If the OS prioritizes downloading/updating smaller apps, this feature is pointless. Apparently it doesn't.

      on low-end phones this will bring more heating issues as chrome alone makes low-end phone heats up more with single tab.

          Useless feature.

            Realme GT 6. Glibal Version. Version number
            RMX3851_14.0.1.611(EX01) A pleasant surprise for me as well.

              It works on my iQOO 12 (OriginOS 4.0) with sideloaded Google Play Store too.

                    Finally after 15 years of iOS doing this already... any cheap electronic device could do this already except the beautiful google android. Finally can update multiple apps at the same time. Well hope with that the phone doesn't fry, because even updating one at a time android phones would get hot

                      Well, it didn't take long...why not 300, and get over with, to be able to get to the next chapter. Multispy Gemini.

                                Next update will apple allow 5 or 6 app to be updated simultaneously and will start mocking google.
                                Meanwhile Harmony OS will allows all apps to be updated at once and will make laugh of the rest of OS boh Android and IOS.
