How to offload unused apps on iPhone?

Offloading unused apps removes the app itself but keeps its documents and settings, which makes it one of the safest ways to recover storage on iPhone.

Quick Checks
  • Offloading is different from deleting an app.
  • Your documents and data stay on the device until you reinstall the app.
  • Automatic offloading is useful if you want iPhone to manage low-value apps for you.
Fixes
  1. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.
  2. Tap the app you rarely use.
  3. Tap Offload App, then confirm.
  4. Reinstall it later from the Home Screen or App Store when you need it again.
Pro Tip

Offload games, shopping apps, and travel apps first. They often take a lot of space but are easy to reinstall later.
