Auto-archive apps

Google's new 'auto-archive' feature, on Android, allows users to free up space on their device without having to completely uninstall an app.

2

Clear app storage

Unused apps will be partly removed to save space, freeing up 60% of the app's storage. The app's icon will still be displayed and will be marked with a cloud symbol.

3

Re-download archived apps

Archived apps can be re-downloaded, as long as the apps are still available on Google Play Store.

4

Feature

The archived apps will retain your login data and other credentials, saving you the hassle of having to set up everything from scratch.

5

Optimizing app storage

The auto-archive feature will only be applicable to apps that have been published using the App Bundle.
