Why does my iPhone keep uninstalling my apps??

Does anyone know why and how I can get my phone to stop uninstalling all my apps?? They’re not getting deleted they’re there but always have the cloud beside them. I checked my storage and it tells me I still have room so I really don’t know why they keep uninstalling. There’s no option in settings to stop this. Please help

Hi M.Marshall,

Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.

You mention that you have free storage space on your iPhone but your apps are still being offloaded.

Is the "Offload Unused Apps" setting enabled under Settings > iTunes & App Store? If so, try turning this setting off, and apps should no longer be offloaded automatically.

When you redownload your apps, you may want to keep an eye on your iPhone storage to make sure it doesn't fill up. You can use the advice in the following article to find other ways to free up storage space if it turns out that your apps are using more space than expected:
