Learn how to disable automatic Offloading of Apps on your iPhone or iPad. While iOS 11 introduced the convenient feature of offloading unused apps to free up storage space, you might prefer to have more control over this process. By default, your device automatically offloads unused apps, removing the app itself but retaining its data and settings. Kindly look at some of these guides: How to start an application automatically on Mac, and how to fix unable to access microphone on Zoom,

In summary, when unused apps are offloaded, it removes the app without deleting the app’s data including login credentials.
