Google Play Store introduces 'auto-open' feature for new apps
The Google Play Store is rolling out a new 'auto-open' feature that allows users to automatically open newly installed apps with a notification and a 5-second countdown, providing convenience especially for apps needed immediately after download. The toggle is off by default and appears beneath the install progress bar, with the feature currently live on some devices like Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
