Since recently, the Google Play Store is showing different app sizes when downloading updates. The displayed size of the update is X but the downloading size (of the se update) is slightly greater than X. For example (see attached screenshots): - Messenger (FB): 44 MB -- 25% of 46 MB - Microsoft Teams: 37 MB -- 29% of 39.01 MB - Spotify: 34 MB -- 32% of 36.10 MB - Uber: 49 MB -- 22% of 51.00 MB - etc., etc., for every other update Is this a recent bug in the Google Play updater? Or might it be an indication that I have a virus or spyware installed on my phone? > Uber update size wrong.Spotify update size wrong.Microsoft Teams update size wrong Some more examples, comparing the size in MiB to the size in MB, as @Robert suggested in his answer: > comparison with MiB vs MB My main question is: Does anyone else has this issue on their Android phone?
