If you're an Android user who is into technology, chances are high that you own multiple devices. Along with your smartphone, you may also have a Wear OS smartwatch, a Google TV stick, and an Android tablet. Did you know that you can simultaneously install apps on all of these devices through the Google Play Store?
As the Play Store has expanded its reach to more devices, Google has simplified the process of app installation on different devices, even if you don't physically have them with you. For instance, you can install apps on your Chromecast with Google TV directly from the Play Store on your phone. However, there's an even more effortless method that automates this process for you.
First, open the Google Play Store on your primary Android phone and tap the profile icon in the top right.
Next, select "Manage Apps & Device" from the menu.
Now go to "Sync Apps to Devices."
You will be presented with a lineup of devices that are linked to the Play Store and your Google account. By selecting the checkbox beside a specific device, the apps will be automatically installed on that particular device (if they are accessible) once you install them on the device you are presently utilizing.

This feature is useful for various scenarios. When you download a streaming app on your phone, it is highly likely that the same app is available on your Google TV and will be automatically installed there too. It is also convenient for smartwatches as you would generally want companion apps for the apps on your phone.
That's all there is! Please note that although it might not function simultaneously, it does work consistently. In case of any delay, you can always manually open the Play Store on the secondary device to initiate the installation.
