Your phone has a hidden feature to free up space by automatically ditching apps you're not using
By archiving or offloading apps on your phone, you can get some extra space without uninstalling anything.
Modern smartphones often run out of storage space due to the accumulation of movies, music, photos, videos, games, and apps. A lesser-known method to free up space involves reducing the storage taken by apps that are no longer frequently used. Both Android and iOS devices offer options to archive or offload such apps. Archiving and offloading differ from uninstalling, as they retain the app's core files and allow easy restoration when needed.
By archiving or offloading unused apps, users can potentially reclaim a significant portion of their phone's storage without losing essential data or the convenience of returning to the app later.
