At the Google I/O keynote, Google declared Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, one of the new features for the Play Store which was considered as the Smart App Updates. This is basically delta updates for your apps, which signifies that whenever there is a new update available for your installed apps, the Play Store will only download whatever is new within the APK instead of downloading the whole app again and again.
Smart App Updates are only a third in size, which means you save a lot of time and data in updating apps according to Google. On Google Play Store this feature has now been activated some apps are already utilizing it. This update is part of the Play Store application and is available to users of Gingerbread and above.
