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.
Try updating more than 20 apps at once. Especially if a few are large. You will notice the speed difference especially on a non-flagship phone.
