[Windows Central Question]

windows phone apps are larger than in size as compared to Andriod apps

if you simple check the Whatsapp it is double in size than the apps in Andriod store.

is not this a issue. it is eating too much of internal memory

Re: windows phone apps are larger than in size as compared to Andriod apps

If true, then the app will occupy more space in storage (internal or SD card). There is however no direct relationship between file size and RAM usage. You can't tell, just by looking at file size, how much memory will be required.

I think by "internal memory" the OP meant "onboard storage". a developer would need to answer that question. it may be more dlls need to be packaged with the application as they can't be shared due to security.
