TikTok update is larger in the Samsung Galaxy Store because it's a version specifically optimized for Samsung devices, while the Play Store version is the more generic Android build. The Galaxy Store version may offer better performance and feature integration on Samsung hardware, such as improved aspect ratios or smoother performance, but this optimized version might have a larger file size due to additional code for these enhancements.
