Google begins to automatically launch Play Store downloads after realising we install apps in order to use them.
⚫ It has been observed that Google is working on a Play Store feature that would allow apps to launch instantly after installation.
⚫Although the code implies that the functionality would be enabled by default, it would be optional.
⚫ You would receive a notification from the Play Store if you installed an app and didn't open it for a whole day. This is another feature that was recently identified in development.
As the preferred app store for Android users, Google ensures that the Play Store is regularly updated to address issues and improve the overall user experience. The business just completed the rollout of a new privacy feature that makes it simple to remove account data when uninstalling an app that you've decided to stop using. It looks like there will be another upgrade soon, and if it happens, it will change the way you download apps from the platform.
You can choose to run the newly downloaded programme, remove it, or ignore it and keep browsing the Android marketplace after downloading an app from the Google Play Store. But according to code seen by AssembleDebug in a piece for Android Authority, Google appears to be developing a new feature that opens apps right away after installation. The upgrade would save you the extra tap each time you wanted to test out a new app, even though you would still have the option to do things the old way.
The Play Store's version 41.4.19 has multiple strings for the "App Auto Open" functionality that is still being worked on. Based on the values of these strings, it appears that Google intends to provide a toggle that would let you disable the feature. The same lines do, however, also indicate that if and when Google introduces this functionality, the toggle will be activated by default.
A fresh decision: Open apps automatically or receive a reminder from the Play Store
Furthermore, Google made the App Auto Open function adaptable so that users may adjust the notification's display, duration, and sound based on their device's settings. Although Android Authority found evidence of this feature, throughout testing the publication was unable to make it work.
Google was recently seen developing a new Play Store notification system that would alert users to previously installed but unopened apps in addition to this new auto-launching functionality. According to an analysis of the app's version 41.2.21, you should receive a notice from the Play Store 24 hours after installing an app but leaving it unopened. You will have two additional options if the two features are launched: allow an app to open immediately after download, or set up a 24-hour reminder to remind you to check it out if you forget.
