The biggest and probably the most organised app marketplace for Android is the Google Play Store.

It is rich with a diverse variety of apps and tools, a categorical division of users' downloaded apps, and sometimes the inclusion of screengrabs for better navigation of apps' features and functionalities.

With all these properties making it a beckoning destiny of Android users on the lookout for a hard-to-find app, the only discouraging factor was the inability to update multiple apps at a time,

Luckily, it appears that Google has decided to make it possible and do away with one of its sheer limitations.

Just like Google allowed users in April this year to install multiple apps at a time, Google is now allowing them to update multiple apps simultaneously.

Citing sources, Android Police reported that for the time being, users can update three apps concurrently on Play Store, and the limit is expected to loosen a bit in the near future.

Additionally, the number of concurrent installations of new apps on the Play Store is parallel to the number of app updates.

The new feature is reportedly rolling out on a wider scale, which suggests it is a server-side amendment Google has undertaken, which means, if true, users globally won't have to wait longer before the feature reaches their device.
