Need Space in your Android Phone? Well - Android to start telling users which apps they don't use and can delete to save space

Google is at it again. This time innovation is in place to help Users that have to swipe through their many apps and delete each item separately in order to make room for new ones.

To put an end to this frustration, Google is testing an uninstall manger in the Play Store that suggests which apps consumers should get rid of based on how much each is used

When a user attempts to install a new app to their phone, but the device is out of storage the uninstall manger will pop up to suggest apps to remove – displaying them by frequency of use and largest file size, reports Android Police.



The technology also lets users know how much storage is needed in order to install new items.
Once the uninstall manger is displayed, users simply mark which apps they want to delete and push continue to free up space.

To monitor storage use, the Play Store links to ‘Settings’ and ‘Storage’ in the phone, but unfortunately it does not give any information regarding how much files or pictures are using.

And it doesn’t suggests uploading files to Google’s cloud storage options like Google Drive, Photos or Play Music.

The uninstall manager has been open to just Google Play testers since mid-May, reports TechCrunch, but it is not clear if it will be released as a full-on feature.
