Before many many years (6 years ago), Google introduced the “Delta updates” to the Play store.
Instead of downloading the whole APK each time an app is updated only the changes are downloaded as a “Delta update”.
Saving bandwidth, saving time, saving money, saving energy, saving the planet.
Why every Brave update has to be beyond 80MB ?
While Chrome updates are single digit updates.
Attached a screenshot(s), and link(s) explaining “Delta Updates”
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?
If you are reading this, please share your update size on Android Play store.
I had update sizes of 80MB and 40MB on different Galaxy phones.
Both stable channel.
It’s problem in ur device I am only getting updates in single digit
@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).
my second device:
on all my devices, other browsers (Chrome, beta, WebView) are fraction of the update size of Brave.
why is this?
