Google launches “Auto-Archive” for Android devices
Google has created a new feature for Android devices called “Auto-Archive” to help reduce the need to uninstall apps. This feature will allow users to easily trim unused apps without losing data saved in them. When you want to use the app again, just download it again and continue where you left off, as long as the app is still available on Google Play.
By opting for Auto-Archive, users can automatically free up to nearly 60% of an app’s storage space without removing the app’s presence, or user data, from their device. This can help reduce the need to uninstall apps to free up space for installing new apps.
This new feature is currently only available to developers who use the App Bundle to publish their apps. If your app is compatible with it, it will be less likely to appear among users’ uninstall suggestions.
Speaking about this new feature, Chang Liu and Lidia Gaymond, product managers at Google Play, said: Sometimes users don’t need to delete an entire app to free up space on their phone. They can simply reduce it. That’s what Auto-Archive does. It helps users keep their apps and data but uses less storage. It also helps developers keep their applications on users’ phones.
