Currently, when you install an app from the Google Play Store on your Android device, when the installation process is finished you return to the Play Store listing for the app with three options: Uninstall the app, Open the app, or Continue browsing the Play Store app for more. If you want to use the new app right away, you’ll have to press Open, of course. But now, according to a report, the Google Play Store may soon be getting a feature called App Auto Open that will automatically open apps once you’ve installed them.

Google is working on a new feature called App Auto Open
According to @AssembleDebug via Android Authority, the latest version of the Google Play Store (version 41.4.19) contains strings of code that suggest Google is working on a new feature called App Auto Open. As the name indicates, it will automatically open apps after you download them, saving you the hassle of clicking the Open button.
Additionally, users will get a notification as a banner at the top of the screen when the App Auto-open feature is activated. The flags say that this notification will last for five seconds. This notification will ring or vibrate depending on your device settings, but you will also have the option to silence it.

The App Auto open feature will be available as Settings, that is, you can enable or disable it. However, this feature will enable this feature by default. At present, there is no information about when the company will activate this feature and make it available to the public.
