Regularly used apps keep reinstalling on iPad and iPhone, why?
Why do apps which I use daily keep re-installing themselves? For example social media apps -Twitter and LinkedIn which both reinstalled themselves today.

Hello PoppySue809,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having an issue with apps removing, then reinstalling daily. It sounds like the apps may be offloading due to low storage. If you tap Settings > General > iPad Storage, how much available storage do you have? If you are low, the system will help to make more space available by offloading least used apps. To see if this setting is turned on tap Settings > App Store, then see if the slider is green for "Offload Unused Apps". If it is, you can turn this feature off to keep the apps from offloading.
If you found you are low on device storage, the following guide can help to reclaim some space: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Let us know how it goes.
Take care.

PoppySue809,
Were you able to check your available storage to see if that is the cause of the apps offloading? If the device needs storage to manage tasks it will offload apps to provide temporary storage.
Keep us posted.
Take care.
Thank you Tammy_03 but this does not explain why it is the 2 apps which I use most, LinkedIn and Twitter, and use several times a day are the ones doing this ?
