Upgraded to iOS 11, and it seems like this game is set to "offload," meaning that every time I re-open the app (after a couple hours of dormancy), it redownloads a 700+ MB update. I have snail pace internet (country) so it takes FOREVER. Then, when opening up the game, no real update. What gives? Anyone else having this issue?

Constant updates: Usually this happens when your device is becoming quite full.Check to see if your device is getting full and off load some apps.

I used to be able to have zero KB left with iOS 10 according to storage and it wouldn't delete the Tapped Out files. I tried turning off the offloading feature (in both the App Store and General Storage settings), deleting and reinstalling, rebooting the phone and leaving the game open for extended periods of time but I still get the same behavior. I'm guessing Apple is trying to force users to have at least 2 GB free on their phone and iOS is deleting the large files. I was hoping there would be some sort of "Never offload" option with each app, but I don't see any setting for it. Maybe in updates.Please update if anyone has found a workaround. Hopefully something gets fixed before the THOH update hits which is likely tomorrow.I kniw this wont help your issue, but I wouldn't worry about THOH tomorrow. You have some time, the "classic mini events" starts Thursday 9/28. Thoh usually wont hit until the first week of October

It's not. I have plenty of space.

You don’t define what “plenty” is, but if @adruralo ‘s solution is not doing the trick (and it usually does), you’ll probably need to contact EA Help.

I have 2GB+ free space. The update is just over .5 GB. This has never happened without getting an error code that tells me to free up some space.

I'm in the process of updating my iPad. I'll chime in with my experience once it's done.

This has been a long-standing problem for many users. Kinda doubt it’s a direct consequence of any differences in iOS 11.

It's weird. I just feel like my iPhone is stuck to "offload" the app, even though it says it isn't.

I agree with @KrustyBrand 's comment.
It could also be due to a corrupted file in your TSTO game, so you may want to try deleting & re-downloading the app.
Hope you're able to resolve the issue quickly.
