NuclearVision Hello! Recently i noticed updating large apps is not taking much time. Is it just me or updates work by patching the apps now adays? Thanks!

haidcar it's always been the case on ios, they call them delta updates. though sometimes the app is overhauled completely, or new levels added to a game which make the update larger.
NuclearVision I have alwas download minor updates as full size downloads. Never experienced partials until recently i could be wrong though.
haidcar this depends on the dev. the dev could write the app in a way that it would need a rewrite to the app, even if it's a small minor update. i too had updates like these where they were minor yet you download the full size, at the same time i have apps with a few MBs worth of of an update.
