TL;DR
- Android 16 introduces “seamless app updates” to make installing app updates faster and less disruptive.
- This feature significantly reduces the time an app is frozen during an update, cutting it from seconds to milliseconds.
- The improvement is achieved by running optimization scripts earlier in the installation process, reducing app downtime.
It’s honestly pretty annoying when you have to update an app and after it’s done downloading, you just sit there for like 10 seconds while nothing happens (at least nothing you can see)
Downloading software isn’t the same thing as installing it.
I know, what’s your point?
The app has to be installed after downloading…
Yes, I know but why are you telling me that?
???
Because you said this:
That “10 seconds while nothing happens” is the app being installed. That’s it.
I understand now that you may have just been expressing frustration, but text doesn’t convey sarcasm or hyperbole the same way as actual speech. I would suggest amending your comment to reflect the use of hyperbole. Don’t be an idiot by pretending other people are dumb for misinterpreting.
Never ever had that happen to me on my phone, but I bet waiting ten seconds for anything is the worst, right?
I just said it’s annoying and making that waiting time shorter is a good change
It is kinda annoying when you’re in a rush and need something right there on the spot, but it says it has to update before you can use it, and then you’re there for what feels like an eternity.
