With the idea of improving the user experience with the applications they install on their devices, Google is preparing a new function in the Play Store that promises to simplify the access time to downloaded apps. This option is called “App Auto Open” and will allow downloaded applications to open automatically once their installation is complete.
Currently, when users download an app from the Android app store, They need to navigate their device’s home screen to find the newly installed app icon and then open it manually.
This process, although relatively simple, can cause many to forget to run the apps they have just installed, especially for those users who download multiple apps and fill their phone with different platforms.
With the introduction of App Auto Open, Google seeks to eliminate this extra step. According to information from an analysis of the code of version 41.4.19 of the Google Play Store, made by Android Authority, This new feature will automatically activate apps once their installation is complete.
This way, users won’t have to manually search for or open newly downloaded apps, which promises to make using new apps faster and more straightforward.
When a user downloads an app from the Play Store, App Auto Open will launch a notification that appears at the top of the screen. This alert will inform the user that the application has been installed and will open automatically.
The notification will have a default duration of five seconds and can be set to sound or vibrate, depending on the device settings. In addition, users will have the option to silence this alert if they prefer and want a more personalized experience, especially if they download many apps continuously.
Although this is a small change, it can become an ideal tool for users not to fill their phone with platforms that they will never use, but rather when installedthey can immediately test an app and decide if they will keep it or prefer to delete it.
As of now, the feature is not available and cannot be configured, so it is still under development. However, Google is expected to roll it out gradually in future Play Store updates, once all the technical details have been polished and its optimal functionality has been ensured, as happens with this type of functions that are added in applications and stores. digital.
Google Play Store is introducing a feature called “Reminders for Downloaded Apps”, which aims to solve a common problem among Android users: downloading apps that are then forgotten and never opened.
This new feature is designed to remind users to open apps they have installedbut which they have not yet used.
When a user downloads an application from the Google Play Store, if 24 hours pass without it being opened, the system will send a reminder notification. This notification will inform the user that the platform is installed and ready to be used, along with a button to open the app directly from the notification.
Like autostart, this reminder can be a useful tool for users who download multiple apps at the same time or who have the habit of postponing opening apps after the initial download.
The Google Play Store will allow users to customize how they want to receive these reminders. Options will include the ability to set notifications to silent, with sound, or even disable them completely if the user prefers not to receive these types of reminders.
