GOOGLE is testing a major Android upgrade that will save you time, but there’s a catch.
Google Play Store is now testing parallel downloading to improve users’ experience.
This feature allows users to download apps at the same time, instead of waiting one by one.
Currently, many Android users are tired of waiting for apps to be downloaded and updated, especially when Wi-Fi speed is slow.
But now Google wants users to be able to update apps at the same time, instead of waiting. Simultaneous downloads from the Play Store may be available to the public soon.
However, experts have warned that the feature could increase users’ mobile bills if they are not careful when using it.
Experts recently warned that many apps available on the Google Play Store posed a risk to their device.
They recommended uninstalling all apps immediately if you see them on your phone.
It’s also worth flagging them to Google or an official app store if you come across them on the platform.
Some malicious apps can be distributed through third-party stores or via emails and text messages.
