You put an app to download and once the download is complete you forget about it. Days go by and you still don’t open it. Google Play doesn’t like this and will start sending you notifications remind you to open new apps that you downloaded.
Prepare to receive new reminders from Google Play, kindly prompting you to give away that app you installed and never opened. If you don’t like the idea very much, can be disabled.
Don’t forget to open the app
We have all happened to install an application or game from Google Play, leave it to download and then we forget and it stays there until we accidentally find it in the installed apps list a few months later.
Google will try to prevent this from happening again, by repeatedly reminding us to open the applications that we we installed and never opened. The reminder includes text such as “Your app is installed and ready to open,” with an “Open” button for apps or “Play” for games.

These types of notifications arrive with Google Play 41.2.21, although we have already seen in previous versions that the called notification channel is included Open app reminders, which is the one used for this type of notifications. With this notification channel you are free to configure these types of notifications to be silent, with or without sound, or to directly disable them completely.
Of course, they shouldn’t bother you too much either, because it will send us two reminders maximum for every app we forgot to open. After the second reminder, it will no longer insist on this app or game and we will be free to keep it installed without opening it for the rest of eternity.
