Google is introducing a new feature in the Play Store that allows users to resume cancelled app downloads. This "Smart Resume" feature will help users avoid starting downloads from scratch if their internet connection fails. With this update, temporary files will be kept for up to a day, allowing users to pause and resume downloads. However, users must have 5GB of free space, and the feature is limited to apps and games under 2GB. Additionally, a "Resume Playing" section will be added under the Games tab for easier access to games. Google is also planning to integrate AI to help users with app-related queries.
