Google Play Store Download Manager Unveiled in APK Teardown Report
Download Manager on Google Play Store
According to an Android Authority report, the Download Manager on the Google Play Store will automatically activate following app installations. This has been highlighted during an APK teardown of version 42.9.16-31, revealing references to the Download Manager functionality. The feature includes capabilities to sort downloads based on installation and schedule times.
Recent Developments
- The Download Manager displays recently downloaded apps.
- Users can see a badge count of unopened apps on the app details page.
Although this feature has been manually triggered during teardown, it is not currently accessible to the public. Such features typically reflect ongoing development and could influence future updates.
Other New Features
In addition, the Google Play Store has been rolling out several enhancements, including:
- Downloading up to three apps simultaneously.
- Shifting from Android Application Packages (APKs) toward Android App Bundles (AABs).
This transition may complicate the sideloading process as users must initially obtain an APK bundle installer.
