Actually “Delta updates” was introduced way before 2016 where it started actually showing the update size, which wasn’t displayed in play store until 2016 but the technology was already implemented.
Is anybody else getting large update size when updating?
@Pringles,
I checked my latest Google Play update and that was version 1.39.123 — not my current version due to issues and me trying to solve them by sideloading pre-releases but I digress.
The update was 2,84 MB so something’s not quite right on your end with the sizes of the updates.
This is on my tablet: SM-T500 (Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 2020) and my phone: SM-G980F (Samsung Galaxy S20).
OP has a point. Apparently, not every app on Play Store can get delta upgrades. @onkarjha2003 Can you share your model version where you are getting single digit Brave update size?
This on my Galaxy A50
Brave update 84MB
it’s like downloading the whole browser each time.
compared to all other app updates, nothing comes close to 80MB
Note that Brave updates are not always this big, but when they are, it is typically because there have been major changes to the native lib (which are difficult to do by adding incremental updates).
And yes, updates are done by the Play Store which leverages delta updates.
