Watch: Samsung One UI 7 adopts Android 15’s App Archive feature

Samsung's One UI 7 will include the App Archive feature from Android 15, allowing users to archive unused applications to reclaim storage space without uninstalling them. Currently in the One UI 7 Beta, it is expected to be publicly available early next year. The feature temporarily removes an app's software, permissions, temporary files, and notifications while retaining the app icon and associated data. Users can manually archive apps through the app settings or enable automatic archiving in the Play Store. Archived apps can be restored by tapping their dimmed icon, provided there is sufficient storage for reinstallation.

How to use Android 15’s App Freeze feature to clear space on your phone

The Pixel line of smartphones now includes a feature called App Freeze, which helps users manage storage by archiving infrequently used applications and their data. When an app is archived, it becomes temporarily unavailable until reactivated, freeing up storage space and retaining only minimal data. Archived apps are marked with a cloud icon in the App Drawer or home screen. The feature is enabled by default on new Pixel devices running Android 15, and users can find it under "Manage app if unused" in the settings menu. Users can choose to allow automatic archiving after a period of inactivity or manually archive apps. To enable archiving, users must ensure the "Manage app if unused" setting is turned on. Tapping an archived app restores it to its previous state.
