Tl; DR
- The list of Play Store downloads now separates restored applications in a “From From Pridice” section during the configuration process.
- The change was spotted by a predictioner during the restoration of applications on a Pixel 10 Pro XL.
- It is a small adjustment that could make the transfer to a new device slightly less overwhelming.
If you have just taken a new Pixel 10 or any other Android phone, you will know the chaos to transfer everything from your old handset. The restoration of tens or hundreds of applications via the Play Store can mean that they end up being confused with the updates of applications, which makes you difficult to see what you have set up your new device. But it seems that it can become easier.

As spotted by Artem russakovskii on x, The list of downloads from the Play Store is now divided into two sections: “from the previous device” and “Updates”. He noticed the change while restoring nearly 400 applications on his new Pixel 10 Pro XL, but he seems to be an adjustment of the Play Store rather than a specific pixel functionality.
The screenshot he shared shows the two categories stacked in the Play Store Downloads tab, with the line of separate restoration of the updates list. The observation was part of a longer thread while Russakovskii has set up his new pixel, also noting that he reached more than 100 degrees during the process.
Google often introduces Play Store changes to Little Fanfare, such as the Auto-Opt functionality that started reaching phones earlier this week. This small adjustment could make the transition to a new phone very slightly less overwhelming.
