Cached memory, some apps give an option to clear it but considering GBs of storage, few MBs of cached data doesn’t matter

Cache is 0. Just cleared that
Is there more than meets the eye?

Some photos and other stuff don’t need to reload every time instead it stays cached in memory, app doesn’t need yo request to server multiple times to fetch the data instead it stays already loaded on the device.

That's the apk size. Not the extracted installed size

Btw, how’s USA election manipulation/support to Trump going on? If he wins then he will offer you DOGE, anyways the way you use X after 44 billion dollars acquisition is now seems worth and huge if he wins then beneficial for your business and ultimately beneficial to human beings exploring space and better internet connectivity for world.

I’m still skeptical about FSD Tesla, but the way AI has been proliferating, hopefully we will see better stuff in a decade.

I guess folks at grapevine have figured out the Middle-Out algorithm. Hopefully they came up with it in a more dignified way lol.

When you download an apk, it's in the compressed form. After the installation the app size differs based on the app usage.
