After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Yes, it will “offload unused apps” when storage space gets low - at least that’s my understanding...![]()
You can even manually do that:

I have TomTom installed on my iPhone. It has the map of Europe downloaded and takes over 7.13GB in settings. When I chose the offload feature for it, it simply deleted the app that took 189.5MB of storage. The map itself stayed on my device.
All I want to clarify is that the offload unused apps feature is not that helpful if your apps have more content in it than the app size itself.
That sounds like a bug. Did you report it to Apple?
I don’t think it’s a bug. It specifically says it keeps documents and data of the offloaded app.
