Google Maps Taking Up Too Much iPhone Storage

Google Maps can take up a significant amount of iPhone storage space, with some users reporting that it's consuming over 1GB of their device's storage.

This is because Google Maps stores cached maps and other data locally on your iPhone to provide faster and more reliable navigation.

In fact, a single map update can take up to 500MB of storage space, which can quickly add up if you're not regularly cleaning out your device's storage.

If you're finding that Google Maps is taking up too much of your iPhone's storage, you can try deleting the app's cache to free up some space.
