Google Unveils Auto-App Launch Feature for Play Store

Google Play Store may soon introduce a game-changing feature: automatic app launch upon installation. This potential addition, uncovered through an APK teardown of Play Store version 41.4.19, is currently unconfirmed but reportedly called "App Auto Open."

The Details:

This optional feature aims to streamline the app installation process. Once an app download completes, a notification banner will appear for approximately five seconds, potentially accompanied by a sound or vibration alert. This ensures you won't miss the notification, even if you're multitasking. The app will then automatically launch.

Important Note: This information is based on preliminary findings and hasn't been officially announced by Google. There's no confirmed release date. We will update you as soon as official information becomes available.
