Google is always improving the Play Store to provide users a better experience. It included restrictions for personal data and the capability to download several app upgrades at once in August of this year. It was recently observed testing a sticky Install button that is affixed to the top of the screen, giving you instant access to the app’s download regardless of where you are on its listing page. Although it might not operate like other download managers, Google appears to be developing a download manager for the Play Store.
A new download manager that tracks and displays the most recently downloaded apps on an Android smartphone may be in the works from the Google Play Store, according to a report. It is believed that the feature, which was found during an APK breakdown of a certain Google Play Store app version, would show Android users a list of the apps they have recently downloaded. According to reports, the manager shows downloaded but unopened apps when users close it.
The Google Play Store’s Download Manager will show up immediately when an app’s installation has been initiated, per a report from the Android Authority. It was discovered during a Google Play Store version 42.9.16-31 APK disassembly that had many strings referring to the Download Manager, and eventually enabled the feature in v43.2.16-29.. Additionally, it mentions classifying downloads according to timetable and install times.
The complaint indicates that a screen displaying the downloaded but unopened apps displays when a user launches the app listed. According to reports, they will also see a badge at the top of the app information page that shows the number of applications and games that have been downloaded.
The Google Play Store’s Download Manager is not accessible to the general public and was manually activated during the APK breakdown. The features found during the previously outlined process are typically for development testing, and there is still uncertainty around their public release.
Inside an app listing page, the top header will have the Play Store’s Download Manager, located to the left of the overflow menu button. It is said to show a badge that indicates how many games and applications you have downloaded lately.
The Google Play Store has launched a number of new features in recent months. This includes the capability of concurrently downloading up to three applications or app upgrades. Recently, Google also made a significant shift by prioritizing its Android App Bundle (AAB) above the creation of large Android Application Packages (APKs).
This will make it easier to open and guarantee that you don’t forget about the many applications and games you regularly install from the Play Store. A freshly downloaded app will be deleted from the download manager as soon as you launch it.
The Play Store’s Download Manager appears to lack the ability to interrupt active downloads, in contrast to other download managers. When you begin a download on a sluggish connection and wish to continue it later when you have access to a faster network, this may have been useful.
The fact that users now need to install an APK bundle installer beforehand may make sideloading programs a little more laborious.
