Despite facing competition in recent years, the Google Play Store remains one of the most popular places to find apps on almost all Android devices. Users can install new apps with the click of a button, but finding newly discovered apps can be difficult.
To solve this problem, Google may be working on a new “download manager” for the Play Store that will be able to track all recently downloaded apps. According to a recent APK teardown by Android Authority, the publication found several strings that hint at features currently in development in Play Store v42.9.16-31.
If you enable this feature in the latest version of Google Play Store, Download Manager will not only show you the currently downloaded apps, but also keep track of all recently installed apps that the user has not launched after installation. got it. When you launch an app in the list, it is removed and no longer appears the next time you open the Recently Installed Apps section.

However, unlike traditional download managers that allow users to pause and resume downloads, the Google Play Store’s built-in download manager currently appears to lack that functionality. While it may not be a useful feature for everyone, it can be very useful for users who download and install multiple apps at once or forget to open apps once installed. .
One thing to note here is that this feature is not currently available on the Google Play Store and Google has not officially announced this feature yet, so you may have to wait a few weeks or months or Google may remove this feature completely. Recently, Google updated the Play Store and added a new feature that allows users to download multiple apps at the same time.
