I’m quite often in low / no signal places so my iPhone is setup to have a lot of offline apps. I periodically have issues where my iPhone “helps” me by freeing up space. Unfortunately, a trigger can be downloading an offline map / wiki just before going somewhere without much coverage. I just turned off “offload unused apps” (and I’m not sure why it was on).

I’m wondering what other settings are lurking that are worth turning off. Any ideas?

(And there are probably better places to ask on the internet but I’m working to use a few less of the centralised sites or US tech.)

    I just wish they would let you mark certain apps for never offloading.

    I like that it offloads that game I haven’t played in a month or that calorie counter I tried and didn’t like. But, there are some that sit unused for long periods until I absolutely do need them.

      Yeah agreed. One of the things missing as I got off the plane was the ride hailing app that works in this country. I obviously had data then but not really app reinstall data
