Last year, Google introduced a very useful feature in the Google Play Store named App Archive. With this feature, users will have the option to install new applications without deleting existing ones, even if their storage is low. Basically, the feature is designed to make the apps archived to create space for installing new apps. Now,  this functionality is expanding in Android 15.

Google gives users more control over their app archives

The existing feature of app archiving is limited to the Google Play Store, and that is not also uncontrollable. It means that whenever a user turns on this feature and then installs any application from the Play Store, it randomly archives apps, and the user will not have any control over it.

According to the information, Google will expand this feature for Android device users and will be more controllable on Android 15, which means users will have the option of choosing which app they want to archive.

According to what was investigated by the Android Authority, Google has introduced its unfinished archiving feature in the Android 14 QPR2 beta. Here an option of apps archive and unarchive appeared, but it was not properly worked in the then update, but latest in the BEA 3 update, the option is working. When the apps archiving was turned on, it showed a new archive button, which is added to the app info page for individual apps. Tapping on that button triggered an app archive.

However, when the team tried to unarchive or restore the button, it didn’t work as expected because it’s, of course, incomplete work, but it got the proper indication that the company will introduce the working feature to Android devices in the upcoming Android update.
