Android 12: Can’t wait to use your apps? This new feature should please you

Several months ago, Google announced a feature already known to players in the gaming world: the possibility of opening an application before the end of its download. A feature for Android 12
which is finally about to see the light of day and which should delight your smartphones
and tablets
.

Mobile video game lovers, here is a feature coming very soon that could make you happy!

Play before download complete

Unveiled last July, the Play as you download is a feature that allows you to launch a game from the Play Store while it is not yet installed on your Android device. So, you can start playing it even before its download is finished. Enough to satisfy the most impatient of you.

This service offered by Google therefore allows users of devices running Android 12 to download a game in the background and start playing directly, in order to avoid waiting too long. A feature directly inspired by a model that has already existed on PC and consoles for a few years. Obviously, mobile games aren’t as demanding as they are on consoles, so this option probably isn’t as appealing as it may be elsewhere. On the other hand, for those who hope to save even a few minutes, this is a welcome feature.

A feature designed above all for the game

Finally, note that the play as you download » may not be compatible with all games, depending on the size required for the download. Indeed, the greater the weight of an application, the more this feature will gain in interest. This is why it is intended primarily for games rather than other types of applications.

Anyway, even without confirming an exact date for the arrival of this option, Google has announced that the ” Play as you download will soon be available on all Android 12 devices.
