Google offers a new solution for those who are tired of deleting and installing applications to free up storage space on their phones

Google has announced a new feature that benefits users who have storage issues on their Android devices and developers affected by removing apps. The feature will partially remove apps instead of completely removing them and will save up to 60% of space on the device.

One of the biggest concerns for smartphone users today, especially those who haven't purchased one of the latest models in the last 2-to 3 years, is storage space. Storage space, a common complaint of both Android and iOS users, causes users to delete things they don't want and uninstall their apps from time to time.

Google today announced a feature that will address the user's issue through developers. The company introduced a new feature to developers ahead of version 1.10 of its Bundletool tool, which will be released soon. With version 1.9.0 released today, Android users will soon be able to reduce the storage space occupied by each app by up to 60%.

Applications can be removed partially, but not completely:

With the new feature introduced with Bundletool, apps will not be completely removed from phones by users. On the contrary, the user will remove part of the application temporarily. This section containing user data will be compressed into a very small APK file and will not be opened in any way until the application is reinstalled.

This feature will benefit both users and developers. Developers will have a chance to reduce the number of uninstalls, constantly deleting an app and installing another, then going back to the old app and reconfiguring everything from scratch.

Developers who want to add the feature to their apps can activate the "storeArchive" feature in the "build.gradle" file or in BundleConfig after downloading and installing the Bundletool 1.9.0 version on GitHub. Although the feature currently creates archived APKs, these APKs do not work yet. The feature is slated to launch this year with all its capabilities.
