How to archive Android apps

A smartphone's local storage is increasingly important as many devices lack microSD card support. Users face challenges with limited space due to large apps, games, photos, and videos. Archiving unused apps is a practical solution for reclaiming storage. Android 15 includes an app archiving feature that allows users to offload about 60% of an app's data while retaining the app icon and user data. Custom Android skins from brands like Oppo and OnePlus have similar features that manage memory usage without freeing up storage. Even premium devices like the Google Pixel 9 can benefit from app archiving to manage storage effectively.

Phone Link’s Instant Hotspot feature is no longer exclusive to Samsung phones

Microsoft's Phone Link app has expanded the Instant Hotspot feature to select OnePlus devices, including the OnePlus Open and OnePlus 12, which previously was exclusive to Samsung devices. The Instant Hotspot allows Windows PCs to connect to the Internet via a smartphone's mobile hotspot without manual activation or password entry. This feature is only available on Windows 11 PCs linked to Samsung devices running One UI 4.1.1 or later, due to Android's restrictions. Other manufacturers, like OPPO and OnePlus, also include the Link to Windows Service app, enabling some of their devices to support Instant Hotspot. However, not all devices are compatible; for example, the OnePlus 10 Pro does not support it despite running the same version of the Link to Windows app as the OnePlus 12. The Link to Windows Service app also provides other functionalities, such as app streaming and cross-device copy and paste, although some features remain exclusive to Samsung.
