What's in the latest ZArchiver build?
Issue 1 · Oct 6–12, 2026. Google Play’s listed build focuses on faster file operations, SUI support, an E-Ink theme, and drag-and-drop file transfers, alongside other fixes and improvements. These notes describe the listed changes, not a guarantee of what is available to every person at once: Google Play rolls builds out over several days.

These are the three changes in ZArchiver 1.0.10 that stand out in the developer's update notes and on its Google Play listing this week.
- 01File operations get a speedup
Google Play says file operations have been sped up. The notes do not specify which operations benefit, how much faster they are, or whether every archive type is affected.
- 02SUI support is added
The notes list added SUI support, but do not explain what SUI enables, which workflows use it, or whether any setup is needed.
- 03E-Ink theme and drag-and-drop
The notes add an E-Ink theme and the ability to drag files into or out of ZArchiver. They do not list supported devices or transfer limits.
Our call on whether to update, and the link to the official Google Play listing, are on this issue's ZArchiver page.

Tips
- Choose files before compressing
To create an archive, select the files by tapping the icons beside their names, then open the selection menu and choose Compress. The app’s Play description says you can set options before confirming. Check the selected list carefully first, especially when files are spread across folders, so the archive contains the items you intended.
- Pick an extraction destination
Tap an archive’s name to see extraction choices such as Extract Here or other available options, according to the app’s Play description. Think about where the extracted files should go before confirming. For split archives or password-protected contents, check that the required parts or archive password are available; the phone’s screen-lock password is not the archive password.
- Check contents before extracting
ZArchiver’s description says it can view the contents of supported archives, so inspect the file list before extracting when you only need to locate one item. The listing also mentions partial extraction. Available options can depend on the archive type; use the choices shown in the app rather than assuming every format supports the same actions.
Menu names follow the developer's help pages and can differ slightly between versions and phones.
How we write the digest
Each week we check the Google Play listings of the apps our readers use most: the version number, the update date and the developer's What's new notes. When an app has a new version, we put the developer's update notes and the listing details together on one page, in plain words, with a link to the official Google Play listing. Google and most developers release updates in stages over several days, so a version listed here may not have reached your phone yet. Therapymetric is an independent site and is not affiliated with any developer. This page doesn't read your phone or your Google account, and nothing is installed from here.
FAQ
Is this the official list of ZArchiver changes?
No. This is an independent site and is not affiliated with ZDevs. The app’s Google Play page is the authority for its release notes and availability. This article summarizes the Play data provided here; check the listing itself for the latest wording or any additional information about the build.
Why does Google Play show Open instead of Update?
Google Play rolls builds out over several days, so the listing may show Open while an update is not yet offered to that account or device. The Play data does not say when a particular rollout reaches each person. Check the app’s listing again later, and rely on Google Play’s displayed option rather than assuming the notes are immediately available everywhere.
Does ZArchiver need an archive password?
Some archives contain encrypted contents and can only be opened with the password set for that archive, according to ZArchiver’s Play description. That is not the phone’s screen-lock password. If you do not know the archive password, ask the person or source that provided the archive; the listing does not describe a way to bypass encryption.
