Recently we heard about an intriguing feature that appears to be coming to Android 12, specifically app hibernation.
A preliminary point out of it in Android code suggested that the characteristic would let you put apps that aren’t getting used into a state of hibernation, which might optimize their storage use, but particulars of the characteristic were light, till now.
Whereas there are still numerous unanswered questions, a number of particulars have been seen in new Android code modifications, spotted by Mishaal Rahman (editor-in-chief of XDA Developers).
The noticed code mentions that if an app is hibernated for a single user (on a multi-user device) then its cache will merely be cleared, thereby freeing up a little bit of storage. However there will also be ‘package-level hibernation’, which hibernates the application for all users, and it will go further.
Sadly, we’re still unclear on the methods by which it will go further. It could possibly be that the app could have all of its data removed and primarily be deleted from the gadget, albeit maybe with its icon remaining so you possibly can redownload it with a click.
Or perhaps it should absolutely freeze all of the app’s processes as well as clear the cache of apps, so there’s no probability of it draining the battery in the background because of apps.
That’s all just speculation for now although, and we additionally don’t yet know what the method for an app getting into hibernation would be - whether or not it will occur automatically for apps that have gone unused for a very long time, or whether customers would have to manually select to hibernate apps.
It’s a potentially exciting and helpful characteristic although, particularly when you have a bunch of apps in your phone that doesn’t get a lot of use however that you’re reluctant to uninstall.

So the first details of Android's app hibernation feature are here. If an app is hibernated for a single user, the system will clear cache. Google will add more for package-level hibernation (app is hibernated for all users).
