Google Play Store will auto launch app after install, video emerges
Google Play Store is testing the ability to automatically launch an app after install. The Play Store’s app listing page will add a new toggle for this feature. You will be able to utilize it so an app itself launches as soon as the installation finishes.
AndroidAuthority discovered the new new “Turn on Auto-open” toggle. Placed underneath the Open button on Play Store listings, you will be able to select the option after selecting the Install button on the application page.
Once done, the toggle’s description changes to “Automatically open after install.” As a result, Google’s Play Store will automatically open the current app as soon as the installation is complete.
In addition, the Play Store will also display a notification highlighting the time remaining before the app opens automatically. The feature appears fully functional in Google Play Store version 42.5.15.
The toggle has been under development since June 2024. As the feature seemingly reaches the distribution state, functionality emerges through APKTeardown.
Code related to the feature suggests that this notification will show a 5-second timer in all cases, making it easy for users to anticipate how long it will take for the app to open after the notification pops up.

WhatsApp is testing a new feature with the latest beta update version 2.24.26.9, which will allow users to translate chat messages and channel updates. This feature is currently under development and will be available for beta users soon.
The new translation feature will let users automatically translate all incoming messages or choose to translate specific messages individually. This will help users better understand messages written in different languages to make it easier to communicate with people from around the world.
Notably, the message translations will happen directly on your device, without sending any data to third-party services. This means WhatsApp can maintain its end-to-end encryption to ensure privacy.
The translation feature will also work offline. For that, users can download language packs in advance to allow them to translate messages even when they don’t have an internet connection.
Through this feature, WhatsApp plans to make the translation process quick and simple. But you can’t use WhatsApp fucntions without the internet like sending or receiving messages, watching status, and more. Still, you will soon be able to translate received messages offline.
However, keep in mind that the translations might not always be perfect, as they will be processed offline and may have occasional errors. Stay tuned for more updates.
