[TheNuttyNet]

I was able to update multiple apps at once, The feature is live now. Pay store was updating 3 apps simultaneously.

Feels slower than normal tbh.

I updated around 50 apps and it was very fast, It did heat up my phone though.
Device : S20 FE 5G

I belive it might be device specific when it comes to multi-app update. I have both, Moto Edge 20 Fusion and Nothing Phone 2a. Both have the features to multi- update. While it does what's stated on paper, in reality, it still seems as if it's waiting for the previous app to finish installation before the next could complete the installation.

Either that, or maybe this is still in pre pre pre beta stage before gogly finally irons out it's bugs and be ready in a year with this feature. We are, after all, beta testers!!

Hi Sushubh,

We're piloting changes to Google Play purchase verification to give you new controls over your purchase experience.

Play purchase verification helps prevent unauthorised purchases on your device. Currently, you can choose to require Play purchase verification always, every 30 minutes or never. However, some payment methods include their own, separate verification process. For those payment methods, you currently have to complete verification twice if you also have Play verification turned on.

Soon, this setting will change so that you can choose whether to require Play verification for payment methods that already include a separate verification process. In particular, this change will affect payments made through UPI and netbanking, because they have their own verification processes (e.g. PIN-based verification on UPI).

Important: This update may affect settings that you have previously chosen. To check your current settings in the Google Play app, tap the profile icon at the top right > Settings > Purchase verification.

This update will impact your current setting choice as described below. You can always choose to change your settings, including requiring Play verification for all purchases, once these updates are available.

Current setting selection	New setting selection (coming soon)
If you've chosen to require Play verification 'Always' or 'Every 30 minutes' and you're aged over 18 Example 1: If you pay with UPI, you need to complete Play verification through biometrics or your Google Account password, then UPI PIN verification. Example 2: If you pay with a gift card, you need to complete Play verification through biometrics or your Google Account password.	You'll no longer complete Play verification for payment methods that include a separate verification process, specifically UPI and netbanking. Example 1: If you pay with UPI, you'll only need to complete UPI PIN verification. Example 2: If you pay with a gift card, you'll continue to complete Play verification.
If you've chosen to require Play verification 'Always' or 'Every 30 minutes' and you're aged under 18	You'll continue to be required to complete Play verification for all purchases.
If you've chosen to require Play verification 'Never'	You'll continue to make purchases without Play verification.

We'll notify you soon when these changes take effect.

Is there a default rule that UPI payments should be as insecure as possible?
