Monzo App Size

Doing a little clean out of my iPhone and noticed the Monzo app is huge! Is there any reason for this, or am I doing something wrong?

Seems to be the data:

I assume you have to be a monzonaut or ex one to get on the nightly?

I can’t remember tbh, it might have been. Nothing changes and I don’t see anything that everyone else can’t see. Just updates every day with a :crescent_moon: icon as the notes :joy:

To put it in perspective

So not too bad but I’d agree 2GB might be pushing it

I didn’t really look at the iOS Health post but now I see it’s well documented.

What’s sad really is that it’s not a priority and it seems there isn’t a fix to it.

I can manage the space on my phone but it’s probably going to be this way for some time.

5.26 is two versions ahead of current Testflight (5.24) which I’m on.

Presumably nightly is always two builds ahead, at least. Probably one build ahead is internal Monzo Testflight, then the public build is the “current” version - with public Testflight testers and Android public beta users simply getting that build slightly early in most cases.

However, like you say, Monzo tend to control everything with feature flags anyway so newer builds won’t meant new stuff showing, in most cases.

I was going to say: not compared to some, have you seen HSBC?!

But @JIMMWX has already mentioned it, haha. Snap!

Everything on iPhone seems bloated. 374MB including user data and cache on Android :sweat_smile:

App store suggesting 636.4 MB so maybe thats a win :neutral_face:

Is 5.24 testing or you mean for iPhone?

Edit: looks like Android one minor version ahead on 12th May

259.5 MB vs 227 MB Android

No other apps I have are bloated at all, all a few MB, couple of hundred at most. Never had any issues other than this one.

HSBC by far the most bloated @JIMMWX

Yeah, I’m on 5.24 on iPhone because I’m on the Testflight build which, I believe, is usually 1 version ahead for about half the week. Then the build is released to the App Store after a few days, and the public version catches up.

The size indicated on the App Store or Play Store will probably differ slightly from your device as both Apple and Google use “app thinning” for apps - if an app has different versions of assets such as graphics and logos for different screen resolutions and devices, only the relevant ones for your specific device are downloaded. Naturally, this results in some minor app size variations.

And HSBC are by far the most bloated, yes. It’s true across their global apps as well. Something in their platform model must have a huge load of dependencies/coding libraries just baked in!
