Ever downloaded an app and promptly forgotten about it? Google Play Store might have the answer. A new, potentially game-changing feature is in the works: automatic app launching upon installation.
The Details:
Android Authority reports Google Play is developing a feature to streamline the app installation process. This upcoming addition would automatically open newly downloaded apps, eliminating the extra step of manually locating and launching them. This means instant access the moment the download completes.
Currently, this "App Auto Open" feature is based on an APK teardown of Play Store version 41.4.19, so it's not officially confirmed and lacks a release date. However, the best part? It would be entirely optional, allowing users to enable or disable auto-launching as desired.
How it Might Work:
Upon successful app installation, a notification banner will appear at the top of your screen for approximately five seconds, potentially accompanied by a sound or vibration. This ensures you won't miss the notification, even during other activities.
While unofficial, this information suggests a significant improvement in user experience. We'll provide updates as soon as Google makes an official announcement. In the meantime, check out our other recent news, including the Android debut of Hyper Light Drifter Special Edition.
