How To Download/Install Google Play System Update (Manual)

Tired of waiting for the new Google Play System Update and want to get your hands on it? If so, then you will find this guide to be extremely helpful. In this guide, you will get to know how to download and install Google Play System Update.

The Google Play System Update was introduced with Android 10 and the major purpose of them was to speed up the update process. Thanks to Project Mainline, Google doesn’t have to be dependent on the chipset or the OEM for molding the update based on the underlying OS skin. Instead, it directly releases the core updates through the Play Store, which then gets installed on your device.

While this process still exists to this day, they are no longer timely. In fact, there are times when users have had to wait 6-7 months for the update. To make matters worse, Google is always tight-lipped as to why the updates are being rolled out so slowly. However, there is a workaround as you can manually download and install Google Play System Update.
