Google Play Store now supports simultaneous app downloads

In a recent update, Google Play has implemented simultaneous downloads for new app installations. This long-awaited feature allows users to download two apps concurrently, rather than waiting for one to finish before starting the next. While currently limited to two downloads at a time, this functionality represents a significant improvement in download efficiency, particularly when setting up a new device.

It is important to note that this feature is currently only available for new app installations and does not apply to app updates. Additionally, early reports suggest this functionality may be tied to specific versions of the Play Store app and Android operating system.
