"Android introduces auto-archiving feature for unused apps to free up space"

Google is introducing an auto-archive feature for Android that removes unused apps' key parts without erasing personal data, freeing up to 60% of an app's space. The feature will be available if an app is still available on the Play Store, and developers have to publish their apps using the App Bundle format for the feature to work. The addition may be particularly helpful on Android, which powers a wider range of phones, including low-end models.

Google introduces auto-archive feature for Android apps.

Google has launched its auto-archive tool for Android devices, which can reduce the storage taken up by infrequently used apps by almost 60% without entirely removing the application or its associated data from a user’s device. Archived applications can be distinguished by a cloud icon overlaid on the app icon, and tapping the archived apps will re-download and fully restore them, provided the app is still available on Google Play. The feature is only available on apps published using Android’s App Bundle format, and users will need to opt-in to use the auto-archiving feature.

"Auto-Archive Feature Frees Up Space on Android Devices"

The Google Play Store will now auto-archive unused apps on Android devices, freeing up space for other essential tasks. The Play Store will downsize the app without losing saved data, and when the phone runs out of storage, it will suggest uninstalling unused apps. However, to address the issue of losing saved data, the Play Store will auto-archive such unused apps, removing the core part of the app from the phone but keeping the data intact. The feature will be opt-in and initiated by installing a new app on a phone with no storage space.
