Google Play Store Now Lets You Update Three Apps at Once in India

Washington [US], September 1: The Google Play Store has introduced a new feature that allows users to install or update up to three apps or games at the same time. This update is available in select regions, including India, and marks a significant improvement over the previous system where users could only handle one app update or installation at a time.

Previously, Android users faced delays as they had to wait for the Play Store to finish processing each app or game individually. This limitation often led to longer wait times, especially for users managing multiple updates or installations.

Starting in April, Google first enabled users to handle two apps simultaneously, and the new update extends this to three, enhancing convenience and efficiency. When users opt for the ‘Update all’ feature, the Play Store now processes the updates for three apps or games concurrently. Any additional apps waiting for updates will be queued and displayed with a ‘Pending’ status until the ongoing updates are complete.

While Google has yet to formally announce this rollout, the feature’s introduction is welcomed by many as it reduces waiting times and improves user experience. The feature appears to be a server-side update, which means that simply having the latest version of the Play Store app on your device does not guarantee access to this functionality. As of now, it’s available in India, though not universally across all devices.
