4. Free up storage space by offloading multiple apps
Offloading an app doesn't delete it from your iPhone. Instead, offloading preserves important documents and data created by the app but gets rid of the rest. This is different from deleting an app, in which you remove all of its data. When you reinstall an offloaded app, the saved data is returned, unlike an actual deletion.
So, if you want to free up storage space on your iPhone, you can enable auto-delete iPhone apps as shown below:
Step 1: Open iPhone or iPad Settings > General > iPhone/iPad Storage.
Step 2: Click on Cancel downloading apps Unused.
من منظور Save storage spaceEnabling offloading is essential because apps you haven't used in a long time are automatically removed. Also, you might say that offloading an app is practically like deleting it. The data retained is often only in kilobytes, even for large files like games.
However, some apps, such as music players and photo editors, may store large files when uninstalled. In this case, deleting them is more effective.

Bonus Tip: Remove Multiple Apps from Your iPhone Home Screen
If you simply want to remove multiple apps from the Home screen without actually deleting them from your iPhone, there are two ways to do it.
Long-press the app you want to remove from the Home screen and drag it to the bottom-right corner just above the dock. Don't lift your finger from that icon. Now, while holding the app icon, use your other hand to tap other apps to select them. You'll notice the apps begin to group.
Now, drag these selected apps to the App Library (the far-right Home screen) and leave them there. Note that you only need to lift your finger when you reach the App Library. You can also swipe between Home screens to access the App Library with your other hand.
Alternatively, place the apps you want to remove from your Home screen in a folder. Then long-press the folder and select Remove Folder. Doing so will remove multiple apps from your Home screen. However, you can still access them from the App Library.

Also, don't worry about losing money when you remove a non-free app. You can safely uninstall and reinstall paid apps because your payment information is linked to your Apple ID. However, keep in mind that in-app purchases (payments made within an app for additional features) may or may not disappear.
