So I have discord installed on my iPhone (12, iOS 17.1). I deleted the app and reinstalled it from AppStore. I can see that I stay logged in Discord when I reinstall the app. How can that happen? Isn’t iOS supposed to remove all the data?

Also, in the settings app, I can’t see the “offload app” option anymore. What’s wrong!? Anyone else facing this?

    It deletes the app data after certain time… I’d say 15 mins.

    I think it does this so you can resolve app glitches without having to reload your user data which could be game progress, app sign-on, etc.

    I’ve fixed my YouTube app several times by deleting it and quickly redownloading it without having to re-authenticate.

    Offload app selection is under General then iPhone Storage once the app is selected from that list

      Do you know how to make the App Store prompt me to reauthenticate when downloading software that I have installed before?
