Delete an app then reinstall it without losing anything: a practical new iOS 11 feature to save space!

Alert ! New
trick detected in iOS 11! Thanks to users of the beta version of the
Apple's new mobile operating system, presented on stage Monday
last at WWDC 2017
summarized here, a new manipulation in the settings has been revealed
regarding theuninstalling apps. With iOS 11, two
choice of uninstalling apps is now available to the user, including
one allowing you to save space without losing data linked to the app by
question, or the best of both worlds:

There is always the classic option of deleting the app, which uninstalls
the app and all data associated with it on the device.

To do this, inSettings > General > iPhone Storage,
you have to go down in the list of apps, go to the desired app and click
“Delete app”.

But above this mention already known to iPhone users and
of iPad under iOS 10, a new option appears with iOS 11, it is
“Uninstall the app”. This will have the effect of deleting the app, but
store all associated data on the device. This means
that if one day we reinstall the app in question from the App Store, we
will be able to easily find the settings and data corresponding to the
first use before uninstallation.

This can be useful for saving space by, for example, removing a
heavy game without losing iCloud backup.

Also note that iOS 11 also offers an “Uninstall the
unused apps", which allows you to automatically carry out the manipulation described
highest uninstallation without data deletion, for the most popular apps
less often used. This option is found inSettings > General
> Stockage iPhone.

And for everyone who doesn't want to touch their apps and data, there's
always way to arrange with external removable storage, like one of
those seen in
this folder dedicated to external storage for iPad and iPhone.
