Default Android 15 has a cool trick to save my ‘storage full’ 128GB Pixel

128GB of storage is barely forgivable these days on a high-end flagship, but Google keeps releasing Pixel phones with that base level. The Pixel 9 series, for example, can do 8K video upscaling, save a Gemini Nano model locally for faster AI computations, and costs at least $799 while still offering you a base 128GB storage tier. That feels unfair to me.

But Android 15 has a trick up its sleeve that can help mitigate the dreaded “storage full” notification that keeps popping up on my Pixel phones. It’s called “app archiving,” and it works as a temporary band-aid to clear some storage while I figure out exactly what I need to erase from my phone.
