• The Google Play Store could soon automatically open apps after they are installed.
• The user will see a notification when it happens.
• App Auto Open is an optional feature that can be toggled on/off.

When you download an app from the Google Play Store, it will give you the option to uninstall the app, open it, or stay in the marketplace and continue browsing. But it looks like users will soon be able to have the app launch immediately after its installed.



In version 41.4.19 of the Play Store, we discovered that Google is working on a new feature called App Auto Open. True to its name, the feature automatically opens apps once they are installed.



Users will get a notification when the feature activates that will appear as a banner across the top of the screen. The flags say this notification will last for a duration of five seconds. This notification will ring or vibrate depending on your device settings, but youll have the option to silence it as well.
