YOU WONT BELIEVE: Android phones are about to get a space saving upgrade - What They Never Told You

How to delete apps on Android

Android phones will soon be able to save you some extra storage space thanks to the Google Play Store's new "app archiving" option, which just got announced on the official Android Developers Blog.

When this feature rolls out, and when you try to download a Play Store app onto a device that's already filled its onboard storage, an auto-archive pop-up will appear to help you make space. Accepting the prompt will then let the Play Store automatically remove data from infrequently-used apps (up to 60% or so of an app's total size) until there's enough room for the new one to be installed.
