Hey everyone! I'm really frustrated because I can't update my phone due to a lack of storage, and oddly enough, Apple Maps, which I've offloaded, is still taking up a whopping 40GB. This just seems absurd to me! Has anyone else faced this issue, and what did you do to resolve it? I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

You might need to reinstall Apple Maps to clear up any saved pins or location data that’s causing the bloat. Sometimes that helps!
It sounds like you might have some offline maps stored. Check if you downloaded any regions for offline use; those can take up a lot of space!
Thanks for the tip! I checked, but there’s nothing saved offline.
This seems like a common issue. I'd recommend backing up your phone, erasing everything, and setting it up as new. After that, try updating the OS. Make sure to restore your backup afterward. I know it sounds like a hassle, but it might fix the problem!
I’m not sure I fully understand, and it feels a bit rude the way you explained it.
I reinstalled it and deleted all my saved pins, but it still shows 40GB.
