.apk and .obb in total take up ~45mb but when I install it on my phone it takes up 157MB

When I package a blank project with no starting content for android and reducing the size with many different ways I get about 36MB apk and 6MB obb, that’s fine, but when I install the game on my phone, it suddenly takes up 157 MB in my storage. Why??

CandyPoper,

I created a mobile project with the settings of 2D/3D and did not include any starter content. I then packaged the project for ETC2. Once packaged, it was 116.32 MB and after it was installed on the device, it went up to 146 MB. Packaging the project not only creates the proper extension to use on Android, but it also compresses the file size down. This is why it has grown in size once you’ve installed it.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any further questions!

Well why did yours increase only in 30 MBs and mine increase over 100 MBs ? Is there anyway to decrease it?

You stated that you “reduced the size with many different ways to get down to 36 MB APK and 6 MB OBB”. I didn’t try to compress my project in any way, I simply packaged it and installed it which would show the different in size against the size for installing to be a bit different than yours.
