Google Rolls Out Android App Archiving Tool to Free Up Storage Space
- The new feature can reduce storage taken up by infrequently used apps by up to 60% without removing apps or user data.
- Archived apps are marked with a cloud icon and can be fully restored by tapping on them.
- The auto-archive tool is only available for apps using the Android App Bundle format and users must opt-in to use the feature.
- The tool automatically archives unused apps to free up storage space when a device is running out of storage.
- The auto-archive feature is similar to Apple's "Offload Unused Apps" tool which was released with iOS 11.
