We heard that Meta released a new editing app yesterday 👀

Compared to other top editing apps, Edits is actually much smaller in size

🚨 Attention RN apps!!

We recently dropped a new Insight for size analysis that tells you how much size you could save by stripping Hermes bytecode files 🤩

This is our first RN-specific insight, now available for both Android & iOS 🎉

@albertheijn.bsky.social cut a new release of their iOS app and this bundle duplication looks all too familiar 🥲

Let's talk about how there's almost 100 MB of bloat in the @aboutKP iOS app that does absolutely nothing for the user 🫣

Here's what the past 60 days of top charts looks like from the app store 👀

@DairyQueen and @jimmyjohns being top 5 though?? absolutely unprecedented

Another day, another thread about Eufy's app size 🤐

It just keeps getting bigger!

For the past few years, Emerge has tracked thousands of mobile apps to understand their size changes.

We were curious about trends in .mlmodel files, so we pulled some data and this is what we found 🧵

Which app has 101 MB of bloat from duplicating the same 20 MB bundle 5 different times?
April 8, 2025 at 4:59 PM
If there's code in your app that hasn't been used in the previous 10 versions, then it's probably safe to delete ❌
