One of the most important problems of smartphones: Insufficient storage space. We can say that this problem has been relatively resolved, especially with the emergence of flagship devices with 512 GB and 1 TB memory options. However, since the cost of 1 TB of storage is high, it naturally increases the sales price of the phone.
Google is working on a feature that will eliminate the insufficient storage problem on Android phones. With a new app packaging system called Archived APK, you can save an app you don’t use on your smartphone. You will be able to temporarily archive.

In its statement on the subject, Google said, “Archiving means that users can remove the application by removing some parts of the application instead of removing it completely. save 60 percent of storage space It is a new function that allows An archived app remains on the device and can be easily restored to the latest compatible version available while preserving user data.” said.
