Google Play Store version 4.6.16 out with better in-app purchase protection

Google has rolled out a new update for the Play Store. Version 4.6.16 of the client has some really nice features including mass install support and the much needed option to always ask for a password for in-app purchases.

Batch install support should make life much easier whenever you’re loading all of your apps onto a new phone. You can now select multiple apps by going to My Apps < All and install them in one go. You will obviously need to individually accept app permissions first. The updated Play Store client now also comes with the option of ‘Always ask password for purchases’. This replaces the earlier on/ off toggle for dealing with passwords for purchases. The change should be particularly useful for parents whose children often use their phones.
