Key Points:
- The Google Play Store remains an essential part of the Android experience, necessary for initial phone setup and app updates, despite users not feeling the urgency to open it daily.
- A notable new feature allows users to enable auto-updates on a per-app basis, providing flexibility to avoid unwanted updates on critical apps while still keeping others updated automatically.
- The introduction of a Download Manager shortcut improves user convenience by showing recent app installations and current downloads directly within the Play Store interface.
- The "Auto-open when ready" toggle lets users set individual apps to open automatically after installation, with a countdown notification allowing cancellation to avoid interruptions.
- Users can now easily view app changelogs from the Manage apps section without navigating to each app’s download page, enhancing transparency
