Google Play Store has introduced a new feature called “auto-archive” to help users free up space on their Android phones without losing important data. With the increasing number of apps, music, movies, games, photos, and videos, the storage space on our phones can quickly fill up. This new feature will help users by suggesting apps that can be uninstalled to make more room for new apps.
Uninstalling an app can be a hassle, especially if it contains important data that hasn’t been backed up to the cloud. The auto-archive feature will take care of this problem by downgrading unused apps, so they take up less space on your phone, while still saving your data. This new feature is a welcome addition to the Play Store and will be a useful tool for Android users who are running low on storage space.
Google has been developing a new way to “archive” Android apps that allows users to save personal data and the app’s icon while freeing up space on their device by removing the core parts of the app. When an app is archived, a cloud download symbol will appear over its icon in the app launcher. Users can choose to re-download the app from the Play Store at any time, and their data will be right where they left it.
To make this process even more efficient, the Play Store will soon offer an “auto-archive” feature that selects unused apps to be archived automatically. When a user runs out of space, they will be prompted to turn on auto-archive. After that, the Play Store will quickly remove unused apps to make space for new ones.
This is a useful feature for people who often run out of storage space on their devices due to downloading music, videos, games, and photos. However, it is important to note that uninstalling an app will still delete all data associated with it, so it is important to properly sync data to the cloud before uninstalling.
