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 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.
