Re:Why is the Gmail app 700 MB? by itopaloglu83 on Tuesday January 06, 2026 @05:57PM (#46520044)
That’s a lot, a lot, of compiled code and text, especially when you consider some of it is likely compressed.

Also, afaik, it is possible to ship an iOS app in a way certain modules can be downloaded as needed.

It would be nice if Google paid some respect to user devices, or at least go back to “don’t be evil”
