An app may have been downloaded for a temporary need, but months after months it was no longer useful – the number of such apps is increasing day by day. When one day I wanted to learn French; After a week of learning, another hobby took its place. Learning the language didn't happen, but the app didn't get thrown away either. If ever learned again, perhaps from that thought. And learning French without looking at the app every day is also a headache. Or download Tinder or Bumble during a love drought, but it's no longer relevant, but it's as if it's been left behind.
iPhone's Offload Unused Apps feature
Such unnecessary apps create a pile in the phone storage just like the junk in our house. And this time limit of just 'putting away' can sometimes be years, keeping apps on the phone from the idea that they can only ever be useful. Even if never used, the presence of these apps greatly reduces the performance of the phone's battery. And wasting phone space. This article will discuss the issue of cleaning unnecessary apps for smartphones, especially iPhone users, and try to give some suggestions. If the first objective is to free up space on the phone, then this can be easily done using the 'Offload Unused Apps' feature in iOS. Once activated, this app will automatically delete unused apps for a certain period of time. However, no specific time limit has been set by Apple company. After these offloaded apps are deleted, their icons will remain on the home screen of the phone, so that the user can easily download them again if needed.

how to do
To download the offloaded app first go to settings, and from there go to the app store and enable offload unused apps. It can also be turned off from here if needed. There is also a way to know exactly how much space can be saved with this feature. Go to the 'General' option from the settings and go to the 'iPhone Storage' section to know the rough calculation. Most iPhones have a section that tells you exactly how much space an app can save. In that case, an 'Enable' button has to be selected. It is also possible to know how much space the unnecessary apps are occupying from here.
Offload's 'Offbeat'
While there are several good points, using this app can't avoid a couple of pitfalls. For example, Apple insists that if an app is no longer available in the App Store at a later time, it cannot be re-downloaded from the offload feature. So if one wants to keep an app due to memory protection or collection urge, then it is better not to turn on the offload feature. Apart from this, if there is an app, which is commonly used in a specific area or in a specific coverage area, then in case of relocation, that app can be deleted automatically through the offload feature. As it was seen, the send someone app was automatically deleted after going to a new city, why not he used this app only in Dhaka. Or a hiking app that stopped working when climbing a mountain. It is not surprising to encounter these problems when using the offload feature. But there is a solution in this case. Users can use the offloaded app in manual mode out of automatic mode. In that case, certain apps may be excluded from this list. It is also easy to delete unnecessary apps. If you don't want to use the offload feature, you can press the app icons on the home screen to 'delete'. Apart from this, the task will be a little easier even if you go to the 'General' section of the settings and glance at the app list. And to take care of your phone, you can take a look once a month - which apps were really needed during the month, and which were not. By doing this, the phone will be free of clutter, and the home screen of the phone will not be crowded with useless apps.
