If you own a smartphone - irrespective of whether its Android or iOS - it's only natural that you will head over to your respective Android or iOS app stores at least once in a day to get your daily fix of the daily apps.
While apps come in all shapes and sizes, and are often categorized in different categories - such as games, photography, utility, etc - there are a few that rise above all categories and slowly become a must have in your phone (mostly due to the overall popularity of the app).
When you use a smartphone, the first thought that makes its way through your head is what are the apps that will be supported on your new device and if there will be enough space to fit all those apps in your device.
However, the biggest problem that exists here comes from the availability of internal memory which, in most phones, is not enough to suffice all the apps alongside their future updates that also require a lot of space.
