Small changes that make life a little more convenient. That’s how you could define this novelty that will soon arrive on Android (perhaps with its future version 15?), and which will certainly not be an impressive novelty, it will not make dozens or hundreds of headlines and it will be as fast and ordinary users of the platform naturally assumed that in a short time, practically no one will remember (at least consciously) that previously this process required one more click.

Generally, installing an application on a mobile phone (or tablet) is a process Much simpler and faster than its namesake on PC. In the last one, it will “build” us (understand the quotation marks, because we are not talking about a particularly complicated process) with several steps in which we will have to select the installation folder, the elements of the application that we want to install , maybe we want to enjoy the unwanted software package that comes as an accompaniment … in short, a few steps that will not require us to pay attention to its development. On Android (and iOS, they’re similar in this), just click the “Install” button in the app store and in seconds (or minutes, depending on the size of the app) it will download, install, add a shortcut to your home screen, and so on it will be ready for us to use.

In some cases, PC application installers offer, in their last step, the option to run the application after the installation is complete. However, once we finished installing the Android app, We will see two buttons: Uninstall and Open (or Play, in some cases). And since we just installed it… what do we most likely want to do at that point? If we take a cookie out of the box, are we more likely to eat it or return it?

Well, as we’ve read, Google’s operating system will soon be in charge of automatically putting cookies in your mouth (if you want it to, of course) because The Android application will open automatically after installation. I don’t know about you, but honestly, more than once I’ve started to install an app and somehow waited for it to open. Then I remembered no, I pressed the button and then yes, I started using it. And yes, I know there are exceptions, and there will definitely be users who don’t want apps to open automatically when they’re installed, and Google has thought of that too, so it will be possible to disable this feature (which, yes, it seems will be in enabled by default).

I’ve said before and I insist that this is a minimal, tiny change, but I’ve always argued that even small changes have their value depending on the volume of impact they have on the user (and of course the meaning of it) . So here we find a small change, but it contributes to make the Android user experience more pleasant. And that is undoubtedly something to celebrate.
