Problem Description

Currently user apps that installed when similar system apps already exists (aka updated system app) is being displayed under "System app" filter, and there are no ways to filter this kind of apps only.

Edit: The use case for this filter is when I want to uninstall updates (newer version) to the system app, restore it to the factory settings (older version). Either for increasing the free space on the device, or when there are bugs in the new version. Usually I used third party app for filtering, and search the app again in Neo Backup, do the backup, go to the Settings (on the phone, not Neo Backup), hit "uninstall update" on app details (thus also deleting the user data, cache, and so on), and lastly restore the backup without APK on Neo Backup.

Proposed Solution

Add the third option in app type filter, like "Updated System App" or similar.
