In order to ensure that the Hawkwatch app remains on your mobile device, you'll need to configure it to _not_ save space by 'offloading' apps that don't get used frequently.


1.  From your Home Screen, find and tap on the Settings app


2.  In the Settings app, scroll down and tap the listing for the 'App Store' settings.


3. In the App Store settings pane, find and tap the control for 'Offload Unused Apps', so that the slider is on the left, and the green no longer shows, which is the 'off' position.

If your device's storage space gets low, you may need to manually remove apps or other files (like photos or videos) that you no longer use.
