 Everyone now has access to the Play Store's automatic app archiving feature

 

No matter which fantastic smartphone option you decide on during the years of having a phone, your storage space might become rather cluttered.

 

Google addresses this issue in several ways, including a recently announced app archiving feature that automatically lowers storage consumption for apps you haven't used in a while. Google is now putting out a straightforward toggle for this on the Play Store, whereas in the past you had to go through a few hoops to activate it.

 

 

Previously, auto-archiving was only an option if your storage was already low; in that case, a prompt would appear asking you if you'd like to enable the feature to save space. Mishaal Rahman on X (formerly Twitter) and AssembleDebug on Telegram have noticed that a growing number of users are gaining access to the auto-archive feature. You can easily toggle it on and off in the General section of the Play Store settings.

 

The ability to retain all of your most crucial apps on your device without them eating up as much space as they otherwise would is made much easier thanks to this.

 

The auto-app archive makes use of the App Bundle format for Android, which enables app developers to deliver only the files that your phony requires.

 

Already intended to reduce bandwidth and storage usage, auto-archiving allows your phone to further compress packages.

 

According to Google, you can reduce storage by up to 60% without losing any data or needing to remove the program. Your phone will need to download a few additional files to open it again.
