The announcement of auto-archive comes within a week after Google also announced that it would begin to require Android apps to let you delete your account. The company does note, however, that “auto-archive is only available for developers using the App Bundle to publish their apps.” So please, developers, do whatever that is so I can stop having to log in and go through two-factor authentication every time I re-download an app. If “data being preserved” means not having to log back into an app after you re-install it, I’m all for this method. You’ll go to use the app just like you always did and simply have to wait a few seconds for it to re-download on your device, but your data will be preserved. The company claims that auto-archive can “automatically free up to nearly 60% of an app’s storage space, without removing the app presence or users’ data from the device.” This is a great way to approach this storage problem. When the user wants to start using the app again, they can simply tap to re-download it and pick up where they left off (as long as the app is still available on Google Play).” Instead, Google says that auto-archive will result in an app being “partly removed from the device to save space, whilst the app icon and the user’s personal app data will be preserved. The interesting thing here is that auto-archive does not mean auto-delete - Android won’t just delete the whole app from your phone like iOS currently does.
