Introducing App Archiving: A New Feature Coming to Android 15

Google is set to launch an exciting new feature called App Archiving with the release of Android 15. This feature, as reported by Mishaal Rahman from Android Authority, will revolutionize how Android users manage their apps and storage space. Instead of uninstalling an app to free up space, users can now archive it for future use without losing any data or settings.

Key Points About App Archiving:

– App archiving is currently a Google Play Store feature but will soon be integrated into the Android OS with the release of Android 15.
– Users can archive apps to save storage space and easily restore them when needed without losing any data.
– The feature allows for significant reductions in app size, making it more efficient for users to manage their app library.
– In addition to manual archiving, Android 15 will include an automatic archiving option for apps that are rarely used.

How App Archiving Works:

– Users can archive apps through the App Info Page by toggling on the “manage app if unused” option.
– When an app is archived, permissions are removed, temporary files are deleted, notifications are halted, and the app is stored in a compressed format.
– Restoring an archived app is seamless and does not require reinstallation or setup.

What to Expect:

While early testing of the feature was successful on Android 14 QPR beta versions, Rahman suggests that full integration and optimization may not occur until the official release of Android 15. Stay tuned for more updates on this innovative new feature!
