apple Maps is taking up 37 GB of storage on my phone how do I get rid of that. I already deleted the app and reinstalled it and nothing changed
iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14
Greetings roshaun98,
In addition to what I already reported to TieHand (you too, check that Maps synchronization with iCloud is disabled), I would like to point out that the greatest benefits (for space recovery) are always obtained by restoring the iPhone to factory conditions, even because this basic troubleshooting procedure reinstalls a fresh copy of the operating system, often fixing some glitches.
Yes, it is a little inconvenient, but it is highly recommended. If you've never done it, create a full backup of your device, then restore it to factory settings and, in the end, set it up as new, using these instructions:--> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings – Apple Support
When done, restore your data from previously made backup:--> Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup
Forgot to ask you: are you using Apple Maps with Carplay?
Please keep me informed and, if you decide to restore your device, let me know how it goes.
Regards
Giulio
same issue on iPhone XR as soon as I update to iOS 14. Like everyone else, removing and reinstalling brought it back at around 40gb. Problem persists despite daily backups.
my Apple Maps was using 45gb of space. I was on the phone with apple support for an hour and a half yesterday and they had no clue why. I reset my phone and it was back to normal. I used it 2 times today with CarPlay and it is already over 3gb. I don’t have time to keep resetting. I guess it’s time for google maps or waze
i’m not so sure this is directly related to carplay.
i have an iphone 8+ on 14.0.1 at the moment. the phone is used with carplay but i went out yesterday in my other car which does not have carplay and used maps to navigate somewhere. i don’t know the exact storage use before the journeys but it didn’t register as a high usage of storage before (like ever). drove for 1.5hrs total and it’s now reporting as 2.1GB used. i’ve not used maps since i updated.
has anyone updated to 14.2 and has seen a fix for this issue from this latest ios?
thanks
