Ways To Save Mobile Space: Nowadays people buy smartphones with more storage than required, so that there is no problem of space for photos, videos and apps. But with time this storage starts decreasing. As soon as the phone gets full, the first thought that comes to mind is to uninstall unused apps. This method works, but sometimes in the process you have to remove your favorite app or game. Now a smart solution to this problem has come, through which you can free up the phone’s storage even without deleting the app.

Useful feature for Android users

If you use Android smartphone, then this method is very beneficial for you. Actually, the option to archive apps has been given in Android 15 and later versions. With its help, neither the app gets deleted nor your important data or game progress gets lost. That means storage will be saved and the app will also be safe.

What happens when you archive an app?

When you archive an app, all its code, resources, and temporary files are removed from the phone. However, your log-in details, settings and app data remain safe. Once archived, the app is not completely deleted, but is replaced with a lighter archived version. Due to this, the app starts taking 50-60 percent less storage than before and space is immediately freed up in the phone.

When you want to use that app again, as soon as you restore it, it downloads the latest version from Play Store and you get the same settings and progress as before. While using it you will not even realize that the app was ever archived.

Easy way to archive and restore

• It is very easy to archive or restore any app.


• For this, first of all go to the Settings of the phone and open the Apps section. Here choose the app of your choice and select the Archive option.


• After the archive is done, the app icon will remain visible on the phone, but it will become slightly dim and a cloud mark will be visible on it.


• To run the app again, just tap on the icon and select the Restore option. In a few seconds the app will be ready as before.

The tension of less storage is over

If you are troubled by your phone’s storage getting full again and again, then this archive feature is no less than a boon for you. Without deleting your favorite apps, you can make your phone fast and light again.
