Edgar Cervantes / Android AuthorityTL;DR The Google Play Store can now handle up to six app downloads or updates at a time. Previously, the Play Store only supported three simultaneous downloads or updates. In the past, if you downloaded or updated multiple apps in the Play Store, you would have to wait as those apps downloaded or updated one by one. Now it looks like the Play Store has pretty much doubled the limit. Spotted by the folks over at SammyGuru, it appears there’s been a significant improvement in the number of updates the Play Store can handle.
