Archived = uninstalled and it will be redownload from Google play when launched. If it's installed from another source, it can't redownload from Google play
guess I'll just have to wait for this feature to be implemented in the future by the amazing developers.
That's a "Google play" feature AFAIK. Apps installed from fdroid, apk, aurora or epic have the same drawback.
It's really annoying, it's a very useful feature.
It was a Google Play feature (a hack built around modular apps that used App Bundles instead of APKs for distribution) that later got added into Android itself in Android 15. F-Droid supports it, you just have to have Android 15 or 16.
Edit:
I have android 16, I don't see that on the froid apps, not even the ones installed just a few days ago.
Is that a new branch of fdroid or is there a setting to enable?
Edit: actually, I use droidi-fy, so maybe it's lacking that feature.
Obtainium has its own list of apps you've added, you could just use that as a list so you don't forget about them?
yeah that could be an solution, but I have already grouped my apps in the home screen so I have download it in the future I have to group them again. I have about 200 apps downloaded and I have 50+ apps used. So it could be a lot of work. Using archive feature I could easily manage these stuff
Wow, that's a huge number!
