iPhone trick: outsource apps instead of deleting them to create space

Any bet: There are many apps on your iPhone that you don’t necessarily need, or not always. For example, a game that you are done with, or applications that you only use on vacation, for example. Otherwise they just waste valuable storage space. However, you don’t want to lose all data, settings or chat histories forever, direct deletion is out of the question. What you can do: Outsource the apps in question. How this works in detail, we explain in the following video:

The decisive advantage: in the case of outsourcing, the app itself is deleted, but all personal data is retained. If you install the app again later, you can use the app as before and can directly access your data again. Good to know: The app icon remains on the home screen. The small cloud next to the app name then symbolizes the outsourcing, which can be reversed at any time.

Automatic on request

Nevertheless: If you no longer want to use apps in the future, please delete them directly to free up space. Otherwise, you keep a back door open for later use by outsourcing – damn handy.
