When Tapped Out Uses All of your Storage

When i have the problem that the game won't accept an update because device is too full, i go to settings > storage > cache > clear cache. This frees up a few gig of wasted space. Maybe you can try that if you haven't already.

I have an iPad Pro with 128gb of storage and this is exactly how much space Tapped Out takes up on my device. I don’t understand how you guys are always saying you are out of space. I have been playing since March 1, 2012. The very first day and I have never had a storage issue.

You're using apple products. That is your issue.

Never used one of those. Always androids. Different brands, but always chose models with the very highest resolution available. Maybe that's been the problem for me?

Deadshot be tappin’ lofi yo

So far as I know Apple mobile devices (iPad/iPhone) do not have an SD card option, only Android does. TSTO should not take much storage on current iOS devices; I play 5 Springfields on mine and have done so since 2012 with no more problems than the usual known glitches and server issues on EA’s part.

What was an eye-opener for me was Messages on my phone. I send and receive photos and videos all the time and that alone is taking up 18GB of storage that I am too lazy to go through and edit :D

Next time try using google translate so that perhaps somebody could understand your message.

.... although you may need several GB of free space to actually run the game. Many players have stated they require 4-5GB to stop the redownloading issue.

Also, since iOS 13 launched. Apps themselves and the future update downloads take up less storage on iOS devices.

Mine is a Lot larger than that. Just to test it, just now I uninstalled TSTO from my device, and went to Play Store to get it again.

After it "installed" in the Playstore, I ignored the Play Store's "Open" option and instead checked my "apps" in my settings. Here's the screen for Tapped Out at that stage



Then I opened TSTO and it began installing, asked my age, and a few moments later I got this popup:


I clicked my okay, and TSTO installed (?) while the donut spun. And spun.
After it finally finished, I did not "tap to continue". That is, I did not enter/load my town. I closed the program and rechecked my settings and it gave me this info:



That's storage. So, I have absolutely no clue how yours can be so low. What am I doing wrong?

BTW, when I "clear data" it goes back to the low numbers and when I return to click to play the game it soon takes me back to the popupmessage about needing space and the donut spins while it loads again and when I recheck settings the app shows those same HIGH numbers. 2.15 GB total.
NOTE: Of course, after it loads and the donut stops spinning, I click "tap to continue" and it then loads my town after the donut spins for a few moments.
