Owners of TECNO Android smartphones with very low internal storage (low memory) space constantly run into a situation when an update is available for an app, e.g. WhatsApp, they get a “Insufficient Storage Available” error when attempting to install the update.
Here is a straightforward solution to this problem. When you get a prompt to download an update for a specific app, once inside Google Play Store, follow these steps:
1. Tap on the app that you want to update. You will see two options: “Update”; and “Uninstall”.
2. Select “Uninstall”, and all previous updates to the app will be uninstalled. This frees up space on your phone.
3. Now, tap “Update”. It will download and install the current update, and you are good.
The above procedure should work for any Android smartphone that throws up the same memory error when attempting an app update.

I have had issues with low memory with apps installing to the memory card even though there is still ample space on the card, so its not limited to apps like Whatsapp, Yahoomail etc, which installs directly to the internal storage.
For Whatsapp, its is note worthy to make a recent backup of conversations and to chose the restore option when installing it back to the phone, so nothing is lost.Whatsapp automatically does a backup by 4am every day but this will not contain the messages up to the time the app was unistalled.
To make a manual back up, navigate to setting within the app » Chat settings » then tap Backup Conversations. It takes less than 30 seconds to backup, then you can proceed to uninstalling the app.
Great tip, Mr Mo.
