When your phone's storage space is full, you start facing problems in saving even the tiniest of new files, and this problem is more common than you and I think.

Actually, among all the apps that have been uninstalled from your smartphone, there are some apps that we do not use regularly, but they remain on the phone, and we do not even remember them.

So, to solve this problem, Google has found a way and has provided a feature, with the help of which such unused apps can be disabled, because sometimes it is not possible to uninstall them. This process is called 'Automatically archiving the app' or 'Auto-Archive'. After turning on this feature, every app that is not being used regularly gets archived. Under this, Google partially removes that app from the phone, but keeps its icon intact, and does not delete or uninstall the basic function of the app.
