Google Play Store may soon introduce a game-changing feature: automatic app launch upon download. This potential addition, gleaned from an APK teardown, could eliminate the extra steps of locating and opening newly installed apps.
The Details:
According to Android Authority, the feature, tentatively titled "App Auto Open," will be entirely optional. Users can choose whether to enable automatic launching of downloaded apps. The process will involve a brief (approximately 5-second) notification banner, potentially accompanied by a sound or vibration alert, ensuring users won't miss the launch.
Important Note: This information remains unofficial. While the feature's existence is suggested by the Play Store version 41.4.19 APK teardown, Google hasn't confirmed its release or a specific launch date. We'll update you as soon as official information becomes available.
