I have come to realise that app do expire almost everyday. when you update you are actually downloading a fresh copy.

assuming the app is 40mb of size. and the developer modify the app to add new features and remove or clean some bugs. and the new updated app is now 43mb of size.

the former which is 40mb is now useless when you update you are actually removing the 40mb old and downloading a fresh 43mb.

there are over 19 expired app on my phone currently at about 500mb of size.

to be frank half of them was download a week ago.

in the voice of one american guy. what are they updating everyday? they should stop updating my system.

well update is actually important it might be a virus threat or venerability of high risk. the issue here is you can minimize the app you keep. for example look at you r phone you will see that there are some app you have not touched for the past month absolutely not needed but you just refuse to let it go.
True talk op...I tink that's what made my bb Q5 to enter flash mode or sometin, was having many app tinking am pimping my fone, infact wey dey that fone before d flash mode go reach let say 30..tho have sent it back to uk since it still has warranty n guarantee on it. So miss that fone.

That is a fat lie. Updates do not download the whole package all over again, only the updated contents are downloaded.

Updating applications without need is useless, except not updating may pose security threats or it's a serious bug fix.
If the app I use does what I want and the update doesn't fix anything critical or add a desired feature, I don't need to update. The annoying exception is a forced update (whatsapp can't plead 'not guilty').

What is this one saying,if you don't know ask,instead of spewing rubbish,when you download an update to an App,you're downloading the who 50Mb eg,not just 10Mb,if you are not sure,don't confuse others with your ignorance..

hey mister think you are wrong. when u update an app on playstore watch it closely while it updates. you wanna tell me i downloaded a 14mb in 3secs? have not made any research on this but downloading new apps takes more time than applying an update it will show the total size of the app but it will suspiciously download with impressive speed.
Re: Reasons You Shouldn't Download Or Keep Much App by temmym4(m): 9:16am On Apr 30, 2015
This OP is acrually a learner? There are options to stop auto update of apps either from the app itself or even on google play app. Be smart.

@op, ure nt completely right, update requirements differs from one app to anoda. Some require a total overhaul of the data by download d whole pack again while some add only d extra feature.

Too many noob talks here. You can use superkiller apps and others if your phone is rooted to ensure your RAM is not overused and your phone performs optimally. Too many apps only cause trouble if you have no idea of what you are doing. The idea that the apps overlap and do the same things is not true also. Except if you have littke/no idea of what you install and you just install apps anyhow.

Bro. he is right, updating your windows pc is totally different from an android phone. your pc updates the partial files needed to upgrade your old files. your google play app on the phone actually download a fresh installation update (a latest version of d old app). aiit?!

You are absolutely wrong, when an APP is installed the full package goes in, the updates are usually less than the initial APP files. You may also choose to ignore update prompts if you are ok with the previous version.

You are saying a diff thing from the OP, he was actually talking about updates on applications, not bifurcated programmes

Lol, you must be on Android 1.6 the only version I never used, from 2.1 to 5.0, bros you have no clue how Apps update, on the play store it shows you the original app size but when you do a space simulation, you will notice it downloaded less than it showed you.
The APP size it shows you is just to warn you of maximum space required for installation.

I disagree with u OP tho not totally.... Wen there is a new update for apps. Eg say Whatsapp. The previous size could be 12mb and the new update says 15mb,the old whatsapp of 12mb is not totally removed, ita just updated to include the contents of the 15mb.
Oga during the update process the previous version is removed (except the app data) and replaced with the latest.

Op, na poverty I dey smell for your body so


and for your knowledge, updated apps doesn't void or makes the previous version useless... you Update at free will... the only time that that do happen is when you don't have root access or when people like you upgrade from gb to jb... cus some apps due to some mechanism used while developing in later Os won't be suitable with the newly android system... so if ain't have Wi-Fi or Mega data plan to Update your apps, you can stick to the old version only that the newly updated features will be missing!


...I have over one thousand apps on my system and over hundred on my phone... all I do is to install any app when the need arises... I do uninstall even my Facebook, the messenger and even whatsapp, just name it... keeping my phones ram at moderate measure...


and before you Update your app... always check the change logs... cus most @times the changes doesn't worth it and you will be wasting your b3 and mb data's...


if you wanna know more about how to Update most apps without spending a lot of mb... holla me!
Re: Reasons You Shouldn't Download Or Keep Much App by POTRN: 10:26am On Apr 30, 2015
what i notice is that must of the apps i use have drastically reduce there sizes, some from 40mb to as low as 14mb and others are following suits.

Oga no sir, it doesn't remove previous versions, it simply updates them.

For Example go and check some pre installed apps on ur android eg say Hangout, u cant un install except u av rooted ur device. The only option is to un install updates made to it. When you do that, it takes the app back to the earliest version that came with the phone, same tin wen u update it simply upgrades the version to a newer one and not un install previous version.

Instagram App is almost updated every two weeks, and i must tell u u only add abt btw 2 and 10mb per update to the previous version on ur phone and not installing the whole 20 or 25mb it displays.

Nawaoo. If you want to increase the number of rooms in your house from 3 to 5, do you destroy the 3 and build fresh 5?

If you build a 3 bedroom bungalow, and later added 2 more rooms to it, how many rooms will you have. More or less?
