Google Play Store can now simultaneously download multiple Android apps

After on and off testing, Google looks to have now rolled out simultaneous app downloads and installs on the Play Store...

Finally all that power won’t be wasted waiting for a single app download to finish and install.

Now, they should do simultaneous app updates. That’s the slowest process on my phone.

      It was for parallel downloads when updating not for new app installs and it was later removed.

      Personally I don’t actually remember this, I do remember waiting for each individual app to download and install, and slowly watching the progress bar in the notification area, waiting for a new game to download on my Android 4.3 tablet. Ah, memories.
