Did you know ? There is a shortcut to start updating your Android apps faster

Android smartphone owners, rejoice: there is a way to save time when updating apps. Not that it will allow you to download them faster, but you will have to perform fewer on-screen actions to retrieve new versions. And, no one wants to waste time navigating menus.

Here are the steps to follow.

Start updating Android apps faster

• Display the screen of your Android smartphone and search for the “Play Store” application;
• Make a long press with your finger on the application and choose “My applications” when a pop-up menu appears;
• Click on “Update all” (or “Show details” if you want to decide on a case-by-case basis);
• That’s all !

Note that the updates are in principle downloaded automatically when the smartphone is connected to Wi-Fi and being charged on the sector. Note that in comparison, the classic method is to click on the “Play Store” application, then on its account thumbnail, then “Manage applications and device”, then “Update all”. It is this path that is shortened here.

This trick may already be known by power users of phones, but maybe not by everyone. There are other approaches to take advantage of your smartphone a little more effectively. For example, displaying Street View and Maps at the same time, sharing your Wi-Fi code, displaying hidden functions in apps or placing the cursor in a word.
