Android 15 DP2 delivers built-in app archiving for more storage freedom

  • Built-in app archiving is live in the Android 15 Developer Preview 2.
  • App archiving will let users archive their apps from Android’s settings.
  • Users will be able to choose if they want the OS to automatically archive their unused apps.

Android 15 Developer Preview 2 has introduced a bevy of new features, ranging from audio sharing to satellite connectivity support and much more. Included among that list is built-in app archiving, and it is available in the preview right now.

Back in February, we reported there was code in an Android beta that suggested Google could add baked-in app archiving. Earlier this month, we were able to activate this feature and show how it works. Now anyone can start using the app archiving feature if they have Android 15 Developer Preview 2 installed.
