Offload Apps You Barely Use
If you don’t want to delete any of the apps you have, you can always offload them. What this does is delete the app from your iPhone, but you still get to keep important information that’s been stored by the app. That way, if you ever install the app again, you’ll still have access to that data.
Here’s how to offload apps from your iPhone:
- Open Settings.
- Scroll down and tap on General.
- Go to iPhone Storage.
- Scroll down and tap the app you want to offload.
- Tap on Offload App.
- Tap Offload App again to confirm your decision.
How much space you’ll save by doing this depends on the app; this works great for games but not so much for apps that store a lot of data, like books or videos. Pay careful attention to the numbers beside App Size and Documents & Data that appear above the Offload App button; since only the app is removed and not the data, you’ll only be freeing up what’s listed beside App Size.
