GOOGLE is testing a major Android upgrade that will save you time but there is a catch.

Google Play Store is now testing parallel downloading to increase the experience of users.

The feature will allow users to download apps at the same time, rather than wait for one at a time.

Currently many android users get up fed up waiting for apps to download and update, particularly if the Wi-Fi speed is slow.

But now Google wants users to be able to update apps at the same time, rather than wait. Simultaneous downloads from the Play Store may soon be available to the public.

However, experts have warned that the feature can increase users mobile bill if they are not careful when using it.

Experts recently warned that many apps available on Google Play Store posed a risk to their device.

They advised deleting any of the apps immediately if you spot them on your phone.

It’s also worth flagging them to Google or an official app store if you spot them on the platform.

Some of the malicious apps may be spread via third-party stores or via emails and texts.

It’s best to always download from a reputable store and do your own research before downloading.

Apps on the list include scam gaming content that could lure in gamers.

The list also includes malicious emoji apps, photo editing apps and malware-ridden messenger apps.

Google recently added over 30 Oscar-nominated films to its platform ahead of the 2024 Academy Awards.

Google TV is a user interface running on top of Android TV that allows users to stream content.

These films, which have all been nominated for Oscars in the past, are completely free to stream.

However, watchers will need to sit through the occasional advertisements in return.

The list covers titles from the 1960s to the early 2000s, including blockbuster hits like The Big Short and Forrest Gump.

Google TV comes built-in to smart TVs and streaming devices from top brands.

It comes at no charge and typically with no app installation, sign-up, or subscription needed.

You can browse Google TV channels in the “Live” tab, your recommendations, or the Google TV channel player.
