Prepare phone storage before a COME update

Before updating COME, check free device storage and preserve account access. The listed APK size is not a complete installation-space requirement.

Inspect before deleting

Use Android's storage view to identify which categories occupy space. Review known downloads or backed-up media first. Clearing COME app data has a different effect from removing an old installer file and should not be treated as routine preparation.

Allow for the whole task

The phone may need temporary room while processing an APK, plus space for the installed app and its data. Do not assume that free space equal to the listed file size is enough. Use the actual device message if Android reports insufficient storage.

Keep the update reversible

Retain a working account recovery method and note the current installed version. If you cannot safely free enough space, postpone the update. Repeated incomplete downloads can consume more space and leave several confusing copies in Downloads.

A useful next step

After addressing the device storage warning, continue with one completed file from the checked source.
