Android 15 feature #7: App archiving
When you’ve got an app you aren’t actively using but don’t want to uninstall entirely, Android 15 can archive it for you — meaning the software compresses it, in a sense, and keeps the core files present while removing lots of space-taking and permission-requiring elements.
Then, if you ever want to use the app again, you can simply restore it and pick right back up where you left off.
📲 To bring the feature onto a non-Android-15 device: This one’s easy — ’cause in a rarely realized twist, the same sort of system actually launched as a feature of the Android Play Store last year! Just open up the Play Store on your device, tap your profile picture in the upper-right corner, and select “Settings.” Then, tap the “General” section and look for the “Automatically archive apps” toggle to fire up the system and get it going.
