How do you know they need more memory? Or do you mean the updates are larger and take up more storage?

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.

Updates are bad with taking space if getting low on memory

Memory and storage are two different things. Memory is RAM, storage is space on your drive. Which are you running low on?

Galaxy Store apps are geared to Samsung devices, unlike the Playstore is a general version for all devices. Maybe it has more features that aren't in the Playstore version.

You are struggling with storage.

To clear out some storage go through each and every app on your device and clear cache. You will probably clear up 10gb of storage.
