There's no set rule for how many apps you can have on a device, with internal storage being the only limiting factor at this point. But I'm sure we all know someone that has over 200 apps installed on their smartphones, and sometimes it makes you wonder, do you really need all those apps? This really isn't a big deal, especially if you have the storage space to accommodate this habit, but if you're a person that loves apps, but often finds themselves uninstalling them just to fit new ones, Google's 'auto-archive' feature is going to be for you.
The nicest part of all is that, when this functionality is configured, Android automatically archives apps as needed. This means that Android will take care of everything for you and consumers won't have to maintain apps. Of course, this will save space, but perhaps it will also give smartphone owners who have hundreds of apps a second to reconsider their choices. Just kidding, everyone is welcome to download as few or as many apps as they like. But anyone with little storage on their cell phone will find this method to be a lifesaver.
One thing to keep in mind, though, is that the auto-archive option will only be accessible to developers that publish their apps via the App Bundle. If you want to try it, just make sure your smartphone is out of storage, try to install an app, and you'll be given the choice to start app archiving. So, how many apps do you currently have on your device?
