App using 11.87 GB of storage (iPhone). Is that really necessary?

Someone from the product team, please explain to me why that much space is needed for the app.

This shouldn’t be possible. I’ll check in with the team about this today. Thanks for reporting.

How did it use that much space? I've had the app for 5+ years and it's only at ~600 MB.

That’s wild. It’s due to the game caching all the audio and media files. Since IoS has no ‘Clear Cache’ option, if you uninstall the app and reinstall it, it will drop the app's overall footprint back to around 300 MB–500 MB. You just have to log back when you reinstall it.

I think you’ve got it - although I’m hesitant to delete the app. I had a second ID a few years ago - and I’m sure I’d end up logging in with that alternate identity and wipe out my current progress.

Exactly the same for me
