Android users often download apps only to forget to open them, and Google aims to solve this issue with a new feature that reminds users to open apps they have downloaded but not yet used. This feature, discovered during a deep dive of the app’s code, was found in the Google Play Store v41.2.21 and is called the “Open app reminder.”
The feature works by sending a notification to the user if they haven’t opened a newly downloaded app within 24 hours of installation. If the user ignores the first reminder, a second reminder will be sent. However, after two reminders, no further notifications will be sent for that specific app. It’s worth noting that this feature is still under testing and might not be available to all users yet.

This upcoming feature from Google is a welcome addition for users who frequently download apps but don’t always remember to open and use them. It’s particularly beneficial for those who download apps over Wi-Fi and then switch to other tasks, forgetting about the recently installed apps.
