I looked in IPhone storage and I’ve used the search bar to find the Offload setting and it isn’t on my phone. Oddly, the setting is activated, I just can’t turn it off.
go to Settings > App Store and turn off the switch for Offload Unused Apps
go to Settings > App Store and turn off the switch for Offload Unused Apps
No, the setting should not be where you are showing in your screenshot.. (regardless of where search brings you)
Originally when you turned it on, it may have shown up in that area as a recommendation, but that is not where the switch is for located for turning off 'Offloading Unused Apps'. In fact, when the recommendation was shown there it would have had the App Store icon next to it, indicating where the setting is actually located.. which is where I directed you to in my original response. Did you look there?
If you want to manually offload a particular app, you would do it from where you show, just tap on the app you want to offload and should be shown as an option.
If you do not have the option to delete or offload, then check:
Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Deleting Apps
make sure that's set to 'Allow'
I think I am missing something then. I search for offloading and it takes me to iPhone Storage. The setting should be here, but it isn’t.
Sorry about missing that. thanks for your help
