Anyone’s else having the same problem? Oh, and it’s downloading updates to apps and THEN RUNNING THEM IMMEDIATELY. Like, not something I opened.

I’m on Lemmy and I get a message saying: “app has finished downloading and will open in a moment” and then whatever app just updated opens uncalled for!

WTF with this update!

    Did you get your phone from a carrier by any chance? I used 4 Samsung phones (A20s, A51, Note20 Ultra and currently a A55 5G), all of them except the N20U are unlocked and no one of them ever opened apps after they downloaded

        But is your phone from a carrier? Did you buy it from like, Sprint, Verizon or something?

            Yeah I wouldn’t get a phone from a carrier. Apart from not releasing updates at the same time as unlocked phones, they can also install bloatware without your consent or stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a new “feature” from AT&T but I’m not from the USA.

            Does the notification come from Google Play or is it just a text toast saying that?

              It’s Google play. Apparently it’s a new “feature”, probably related to them discovering that people downloaded apps and didn’t open them.
