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?

Some more examples, comparing the size in MiB to the size in MB, as @Robert suggested in his answer:

My main question is: Does anyone else has this issue on their Android phone?
