How to completely delete an app and its data?
I noticed that deleting and reinstalling an app brings back all its data as if it was never deleted.
I tried all these:
- Delete from the home screen, tap and hold, tap x
- Delete from settings > iPhone storage > delete app
- Turned off and deleted iCloud backup
- Turned off iCloud drive
- Hard reset the phone after deleting the app
Nothing seems to work. The second I reinstall the app, all data comes back, it does not even ask me to log in again.
To test I delete Instagram and Facebook using the methods above, and they behave the same. As soon as I reinstall all data is still there.
