TL;DR Summary

Google has announced that its Android app archiving tool will now work automatically, saving up to 60% of space on devices. Auto-archiving removes the app install but keeps personal data in place, allowing users to re-download and pick up where they left off. To opt-in, users must try to install an app when there is no space left on their device. The feature is long overdue for Pixel devices that don't allow for SD cards, but it would be helpful if users could create a list of apps to exclude from auto-archiving.
