The Google Play Store has introduced a significant upgrade: it now allows users to download, install, and update multiple Android apps at the same time. Previously, the Play Store could only handle one app update at a time, but recent tests show that it can now manage up to three apps simultaneously.
According to Android Police, Google has experimented with concurrent app updates for the Play Store in the past, starting from as early as 2019 and more recently in March of this year. This new functionality is now being rolled out to a broader user base, potentially saving time for those setting up new devices or restoring from backups. For comparison, Apple’s App Store has long supported simultaneous installations of up to three iOS apps.
As of now, Google has not provided a specific launch timeline or detailed which devices have received this update. It appears that the feature’s availability might be controlled server-side, so users may need to manually check if they can take advantage of the new capability by attempting to update multiple apps at once.
