On Monday, Google launched a new auto-archiving feature, which removes more than 60% of an unused app’s data from an Android phone to save storage space on the device. This will expectedly reduce uninstall rate of apps, and will still allow users to quickly download apps when they’re needed.
In a post on the Android Developers blog, Google said that this feature won’t remove any user data and will mark the presence of the app with a cloud icon on the device.
