Google Play Store adds ‘auto‑open when ready’: a default‑off toggle that launches new apps after install with a 5‑second countdown users can cancel

August 29, 2025 //  by Finnovate

The Play Store will now allow users to “auto-open” new apps as they’re downloaded to their Android devices, as the functionality is rolling out widely this week. In what could be a handy option for idle app installs, the Play Store’s new “auto-open when ready” toggle will open up the application as soon as it’s fully installed. The new toggle appears beneath the install progress bar as soon as the install is started. It is turned off by default. When activated, the feature indeed opens the app automatically, but not quite as soon as it’s installed.  Rather, you get a notification with a 5-second countdown before the app opens, giving you the chance to stop that process if needed. That might be helpful if the app you’ve chosen to auto-open is a game that took a while to download. The clear use-cases for this include the likes of downloading an app for travel, a restaurant, or somewhere else that you need to go into it immediately but where the download might take a moment. This new process means you can jump back to a message or something else while you wait.
