How to Free Up Storage Space Used by Apple Maps

Some iPhone users have reported that Apple Maps takes up more storage than expected, even with limited use, triggering storage-full warnings on 64 GB and 128 GB devices. The main factors driving the app's data size are downloaded offline maps, frequently used locations, saved addresses and routes, according to user reports. Users have also noticed that significant storage remains occupied even after deleting the app, a problem linked to how iOS manages application data and temporary files. To reclaim space, users can first delete unnecessary maps in the Offline Maps section. They can then use the Offload App option through Settings, General, iPhone Storage. If the issue persists, the recommended steps are updating the device to the latest iOS version or restoring factory settings after a backup. No further details were immediately available from Apple on the underlying cause of the storage usage.
