Free upgrade for Samsung and Xiaomi phones: This update saves you waiting time

The company Google is about to launch the new operating system for Android smartphones, Android 15. But even before the launch, Google is offering a free improvement for its Android phones as well as smartphones from other manufacturers.

As the news portal GSMArena reports, Google has secretly updated the servers of its app store. From now on, it is possible to download and install up to four apps at the same time from the Google Play Store. This can save you a lot of waiting time. Until now, only one app could be downloaded at a time; parallel downloading was not possible.

Download and install multiple updates at once

In addition to downloading and installing up to four apps at the same time, GSMArena says it should also be possible to download multiple app updates at the same time. This means that your smartphones from Android manufacturers such as Xiaomi and Samsung will be up to date more quickly.

The news portal adds that downloading four apps at once might just be a regional phenomenon – but you should be able to download and install at least three apps at the same time.

You can test the speed of the Play Store

Google itself has not yet released any official information on this. To be sure whether and how many apps and updates your Android phone can now process at the same time, it is best to do a self-test – preferably in your own Wi-Fi network.

Unlike before, several apps or updates at the same time – around three or four – should now receive a loading bar that shows the progress of the installation. Applications with the status “Pending” are then listed below.
