Google testing new feature to queue app downloads for when you’re on WiFi

Some people are getting a new prompt when trying to download an app in the Play Store over mobile data. The prompt offers to delay the app download until you’re on WiFi. Before, you’d be prompted to connect to WiFi or cancel the download. When you connect to Wi-Fi, the download will automatically begin.

The prompt mentions that the feature is a beta and could be removed at any time. If it’s removed, the apps that were queued would download on mobile data. But such a feature would definitely be useful if it was released to the public.

There’s no way to know who will get the prompt and who won’t, so check out if you can manage to trigger it and let us know!
