Earlier this year, Google introduced the feature to automatically sync apps between two Android devices. This comes in quite handy if you use multiple phones or tablets for work and recreation. Any app you download on one device will be installed on the other as well. You can select which devices on which you want the apps to automatically sync. The only condition is that you need to be logged into the same Google account on both devices. So, without further ado, here is how you can sync apps between Android devices automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does auto-sync install all my older apps on the device?
No. Once you turn on syncing between two Android devices, only the apps that you install after the feature is enabled will be synced to the other device.
Can I manually install an app on another device?
If you are logged into the same Google account on both devices, you can remotely install a particular app on any one of them. Simply go to the app’s Play Store page and hit the arrow next to the Install button. Select the device on which you want to install the app.
Does auto-syncing consume a lot of data?
Yes, once you turn on auto-syncing, it will consume twice as much data for app installations since they are being downloaded on two devices.
