Every so often, Google updates many of its features in the PlayStore, from remote uninstallation of apps to increased security measures. Now it adds a new option: the ability to download Multiple Android app updates at the same time.
Downloading apps can sometimes be a bit tedious on Android because for years now the Play Store has had to do it one at a time. Until both downloading and installing were completed, The following application did not start downloading. This can be especially annoying if you have a lot of pending updates.
But recently some users, mainly those with Pixel phonesthey saw that simultaneous app downloads worked briefly for updates.
The Google Play Store is (once again) rolling out simultaneous downloads support!
With this change, the app store can download multiple app updates at the same time.
Google rolled this out a couple of times in the past, but they’ve pulled the feature before, so hopefully that… pic.twitter.com/J5TPjkyYfG

The new option allows you to download Up to three app updates at once through Play Store. The applications will begin to download, and only those with more than three will show the “Pending” status that we are all used to seeing in the Play Store.
The measure is a response to this same capability already present in the Apple App Store, which also allows you to download up to three applications at a time. To find out if you already have this option installed, you must enter the Play Store and select to download three updates: if they all do it automatically, you’ve got it.
Due to competition with Apple, Google had already received many orders for catch up with the App Store in this area And although there were rehearsals in April, it now seems to be the final one.
