Google is testing a new limit on the number of simultaneous app downloads in Play Market

Google Play has started testing a new limit on the number of simultaneous app downloads. Previously, users could download or update up to three apps at the same time, but now the company is considering increasing this limit to four.

Here's What We Know

In April, Google Play allowed Android users to download up to two new apps at the same time. That limit was then increased to three, and it was recently applied to app updates. Now Google is testing the ability to download up to four apps at the same time for a small group of users.

Testers can now already download or update up to four apps at the same time. This should speed up the process of setting up new devices or mass app downloads. However, for now, this change is not available to all users and is in a limited testing phase.

At this time, it is unknown if Google will increase the simultaneous download limit for all users or if the limit will remain at three. You can check if your device is among those being tested. To do this, you need to have Google Play shop version 42.4.22-31 [PR]663941805 and check how many simultaneous downloads are available to you. If there are 4 available, then your device is among those being tested.
