Android’s New App Hibernation Feature Helps To Put Your Unused Apps To Deep Sleep

Though it is still not clear whether Android’s new App Hibernation feature will be ready by the launch of Android 12, we can say that this new feature is going to save up a lot of your storage space.

The Android 11 was released on September 8, 2020. It has just been a few months that the Techsters are running to build the fresh version, i.e., Android 12. But before the news regarding the new Android update is available, we have received information regarding a new feature to be launched with the new versions, namely the App Hibernation feature.

Before we get cracking into this feature, there has also been information regarding Android Runtime that is set to become the Project Mainline Module. Along with this, Android 12 will make accessing App Store a lot easier for users.

The App Hibernation Feature Is Yet To Be Completely Developed

Now for the App Hibernation feature, it will be one of the most efficient features your Android can have. If you are one of those who have a lot of different apps on their phone, but only a few that they use in reality, then this App Hibernation feature will make your life easier.

Though the intricacies of the feature are yet to be released. According to the latest sources, this feature will help put the most unused apps in your phone to a deep sleep. This way you will not have to uninstall them but you can make the most use of your storage space apps within the App Hibernation feature will help optimize internal storage.

The information has been gathered from the latest changes in Android’s AOSP code. The policy that will determine which apps should be put to hibernation will be managed by the Permission Controller Code in your Android. This policy is still being developed so there is some remnant confusion regarding this part of the App Hibernation feature.
