Restoring dozens or hundreds of apps through the Play Store can mean they end up jumbled together with app updates, making it hard to see what\u2019s what as you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/things-do-seeting-up-new-phone-3568659\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">set up your new device<\/a>. But it seems that might be getting easier.<\/p>\n<p> Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p>As spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ArtemR\/status\/1960962207895953609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Artem Russakovskii on X,<\/a> the Play Store\u2019s Downloads list is now split into two sections: \u201cFrom previous device\u201d and \u201cUpdates.\u201d He noticed the change while restoring nearly 400 apps on his new Pixel 10 Pro XL, but it appears to be a Play Store tweak rather than a Pixel-specific feature.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_4g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Google Play Store Downloads Showing From Previous Device List\"  alt=\"Google Play Store Downloads Showing From Previous Device List\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Google-Play-Store-Downloads-Showing-From-Previous-Device-List.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The screenshot he shared shows the two categories stacked in the Play Store Downloads tab, with the restore queue separated from the updates list. The observation was part of a longer thread as Russakovskii\u2019s set up his new Pixel, noting also that it hit over 100 degrees during the process.<\/p>\n<p>Google often introduces Play Store changes to little fanfare, like the app <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/google-play-store-auto-open-live-3592016\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">auto-open feature<\/a> that started reaching phones earlier this week. This small tweak could make the transition to a new phone ever so slightly less overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
