Reclaim progression after deleting app

Occasionaly I try to clean up my iOS-device by deleting apps that I barely use, which includes games. I've played a lot of games on my iOS-device, some will release new content after a few months, some won't.

What will happen to my progression if I delete an app and the developer decides to release new content that I'd like to play. Will I have to restart from scratch, is my progression saved or is this up to the developer? Are there any ways to back-up progression before deleting an app?

Best Answer

If it doesn't have cloud saves, you'll have to start from scratch. There aren't really any ways to back up your data. It could be possible that restoring your device to six months ago when you had it installed might have the relevant save data, but I can't promise that, and it would be awfully inconvenient anyways.

Will deleting an app delete my progress?

If you uninstall and then reinstall the app you won't lose your progress because your game statistics are directly linked to your email address. For this reason, as long as you log in with the same email address you used to create your account, you won't lose your progress.
