Not happy with three? How about four?

  • A few days ago, the Google Play Store widely rolled out support for up to three concurrent app downloads.
  • The company now appears to be testing a higher limit with a small group of users.
  • If Google embraces this change, the limit would increase from three to four simultaneous downloads.

Back in April, Google’s Play Store started allowing Android phone users to download up to two new apps at a time. It then increased this limit to three and applied it to app updates a few days ago. So, whether you’re installing new apps or updating existing ones, the Google Play Store now supports up to three simultaneous downloads. This limit could increase yet again, as the company is reportedly allowing a small group of users to download up to four apps concurrently.

According to GSMArena, Google is testing a new limit for simultaneous app downloads with a small group of Play Store users. The report states that, instead of three, affected devices can download or update up to four apps at the same time. This should further accelerate the process when users set up a new device or fetch Android apps en masse.
