Leak reveals an awesome new Android 12 feature that users will love

[Chris Smith]

• Google is working on a new storage feature that might be included in the Android 12 update set to launch later this year.
• Called app hibernation, the feature will allow users to free up storage by having the system automatically hibernate unused apps.
• The feature sounds a lot like the Offload Unused Apps iPhone storage feature that Apple announced a few years ago.

The newly launched Galaxy S21 comes without expandable storage support, a controversial move that Samsung pulled in the past. Back then, Samsung was quick to reinstate microSD to appease customers. But now, it might be different. Google’s Pixel also lacks microSD storage, as do the OnePlus phones. The Galaxy S21 wouldn’t be the first Android to lack a card slot. The difference between iPhone and Android handsets is that Android handset makers pack more storage for the cheapest model, regardless of whether the phone comes with microSD card support or not. Technologies like 5G support, better processors, and 4K and 8K video, will only make it easier for people to gobble up more data and require more storage. That’s where Google’s newest Android feature might come in hand. Google is working on an app hibernation feature that might be available as soon as Android 12 launches.
