What is the hibernation feature? If you are not using an application or it not has been used for a long time this feature will clear all the cache data of the application to free up space. That will help your device to run more smooth and fast without any issues. This feature will not permanently uninstall your application instead it clears the cache and use a way to compress that application to free up space.
