Google Play Store rolling out simultaneous Android app downloads - eviltoast

Finally all that power won’t be wasted waiting for a single app download to finish and install.

Now, they should do simultaneous app updates. That’s the slowest process on my phone.

    I don’t get the hype over this. How often do you find your day interrupted by Play Store downloads that one finds this to be an important upgrade? My apps generally update while I’m asleep, I pretty much never need to wait for them.

      Kinda handy during first time setup though. Can easily be 30 system apps updating, plus all the shit you might be grabbing from previous installs.

        Ahh yeah, that’s a good point, I forgot about the recovery process. In that case, yeah I can absolutely see this saving a bunch of time when transferring devices.

      Swapping to new phones is really dreadful because of apps installs. It seems like the whole process is great EXCEPT app installs.
