Google Play Store Updates: Auto-Launch for Installed Apps

Google Play Store may soon introduce a game-changing feature: automatic app launch upon download. This potential addition, discovered through an APK teardown, could streamline the app installation process significantly.

The Lowdown:

Android Authority reports that Google is developing "App Auto Open," a feature designed to automatically open newly downloaded apps. This eliminates the extra steps of locating and opening the app manually. The feature, however, is currently unconfirmed and lacks an official release date.

How it Might Work:

Upon successful app download, a notification banner will briefly appear (approximately 5 seconds) at the top of your screen, potentially accompanied by a sound or vibration, ensuring you won't miss it.

Important Note:

This information is based on unofficial sources; the feature's availability and exact functionality remain subject to change. We'll provide updates as soon as official confirmation from Google is released.
