I find it rather strange that for updating an app in Android (or even iOS) the entire app is downloaded instead of only the actual "Updates".
The reason I find this strange is because in Windows while updating an app, only the update files are downloaded -- not the entire app -- which is more practical as it saves both time and data usage.
This would seem trivial to most, but when you need to download a huge app just for a tiny feature addition/bug fix it becomes a real PITA.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why this model was implemented?
