Users of Android can Now Save Space by Auto Archiving

In an announcement by Chang Liu and Lidia Gaymond, Google Play product managers announced that an upcoming auto-archive feature would be introduced later this month. This feature has been added to make device storage management easier for Android users. As a result of this feature, there is less chance of unintentional app uninstallations, and users can install updated apps without hassle. 

Developers who use the App Bundle to publish their apps can only use auto-archive for their apps. To increase the chances of your app appearing in users’ uninstall suggestions, ensure that your app supports archiving. 

If there is insufficient storage for an app to be installed, the device will prompt the user to enable auto-archive. Users can easily turn on auto-archive when opting in, freeing up space on their devices.
