The next version of Android will automatically put certain applications to sleep.
Deleting unused temporary files will free up storage space, according to
XDA Developpers
.
This hibernation process was announced last January, but there was no trace of it in the beta versions of Android 12 offered by Google.
The specialized media was able to consult the next version of the program in which the hibernation mode is present.
Currently, Android 11 introduces an "automatic revocation of permissions" when an application has not been used for a few months.
In the new version, the cache of these applications will be deleted, which will free up storage space.
The operating system will be able to do this cleaning itself, but it will also be possible to choose the applications.
A section dedicated to unused applications
In the "Information" page of the settings application, there is a section "Unused applications".
An option titled "Remove permissions and free up storage space" can be checked.
From this point on, the “Unused apps” page appears in “Settings” then “Apps”.
Programs that have not been used for several months are present there.
The presentation of Android 12 is approaching.
Google is awaiting its online conference open to the public which will take place from May 18 to 20, reports
