Google Play’s big change: it updates apps three times faster

Until now, Google Play has always been a linear thing: if you downloaded or updated apps, it did so one by one. Now the Google app store has stepped up its game and Download and update apps three at a time.

Google has finally completed the Google Play multitasking trilogy with the Installing three applications at onceFirst there was the simultaneous download of several applications, then the update. Now, the installation too.

Updating three by three

What’s better than installing apps one by one? Installing them three at a time. With Android phones becoming more and more powerful, Google has finally decided to activate the Simultaneous download and installation of up to three applicationsIn practice, this means that you will spend less time waiting for the phone to finish updating all the applications with pending updates.

Even more important than simultaneous downloading is simultaneous updatesince it is much more common to have dozens of applications to update, but not to install many applications at once. Until now, updating many applications required some patience because they would go one by one, first downloading the update and then finishing the installation before moving on to the next one.

Now Google has turbocharged Google Playso it can process applications three at a time, without having to finish one before it starts updating the next. Multithreading also applies to installation, which is usually what takes the longest.

The best thing is that as a user you don’t have to do anything and you will simply enjoy it. Google Play updates apps faster than before squeezing a little more out of your mobile’s resources.
