What "vanilla" play store do you have? I have Android phones running android 4 through 13 and none of them natively have something like that built in.

First off, my apologies for the tone of my first post. I am cyclothimic and sometimes (in bad moments) shouldn't be on social media. Hard to draw that line sometimes, though.

Secondly, in a more positive manner and admitting my error in comparing native in Android to the Play Store: I had this message popup on a full phone in the Play Store if I wanted to enable it. It is now also in my Play Store settings underneath "Google Play Feedback".

I have Play Store v39.4.23-21 [O] [PR] 599960585

It also only sometimes does Archiving, but not often. Usually it'll just still pop-up the uninstall-other-apps popup as usual.

This is not something you can choose. It chooses the apps for you itself
