Google Play Store Updates: Auto-Launch Feature Incoming

Google Play Store may soon introduce a game-changing feature: automatic app launch upon installation. This potential addition, gleaned from an APK teardown, could eliminate the extra steps of locating and opening newly downloaded apps.

The Details:

According to Android Authority, the feature, tentatively named "App Auto Open," will be entirely optional. Users can enable or disable it as per their preference. Once enabled, a notification banner will appear for approximately five seconds upon app completion, possibly accompanied by a sound or vibration, ensuring you won't miss it.

The Catch:

Currently, this is based on an APK teardown of Play Store version 41.4.19, meaning it's not officially confirmed by Google and a release date remains unannounced. However, should it launch, the streamlined process promises a more seamless app installation experience.

We'll keep you updated with any official announcements from Google regarding the release date of this potentially convenient feature. In the meantime, check out our other recent news, such as the Android release of Hyper Light Drifter Special Edition.
