Question Google Play App Install sizes. Is this information available anywhere or do we have to install them to find out?

[Autolooper]

Is there a place that archives how much how much space is taken up from installing or is installing it ourselves the only way to find out?

You'll probably have to install it to find out. The play store listings do show the download size, but the final install will likely be different, and it wouldn't surprise me if it's different sizes for different people based on which phone and OS version they have. If it's something that keeps a cache, that is going to vary wildly.

That's what I was afraid of. XD

Other problem is that uninstalling causes elements to break and reinstalling doesn't fix it...

I could have sworn that Play used to have at least the initial download size. I'm either imagining things, or they removed it.

I've not heard of that happening before. If it is, that sounds very app specific.

In the app listing, tap the arrow beside the description to expand and see the entirety of it. Scroll to the very bottom and the download size is listed there with all the other spec info.
