The users will benefit from this feature in the way that they will not have to waste their expansive data, as an app update is about 30 per cent of the total app size.
The concept of updating apps smartly was first announced at Google I/O developer conference. Smart App Updates allows the user to download only the updated part rather than the full application. This feature helps in case of big apps or games, which can suck a lot of battery life and data balance.
Smart App Updates is not Play Store/Android Market version dependent. It is ruled from the server-side. The users will benefit from this feature in the way that they will not have to waste their expansive data, as an app update is about 30 per cent of the total app size. It would also save battery from draining as users will not have to spend 1-15 minutes every day updating their apps.
The feature will be helpful for the telecom operators in the way that it will take a lot of load off their already congested networks as the consumers will not download the entire app everytime.
The feature will ensure that more number of people have the latest version of the app installed in their devices.
