Here is a guide on how to free up additional space on iPhone.
Although there are numerous online solutions for storage, users still tend to media on their iPhone to be available all the time. This can include photos, music from iTunes or Spotify, games and more.
There is always a need to have, but apparently there is no wiggle room when it comes to getting rid of stuff. This is not usually the case and there are ways to streamline your use to get the smallest possible footprint on the device, leaving you more room for your daily needs.
How to Free Up Space on iPhone
Here are the steps you should take to minimize your storage usage on your iPhone.
To see which apps and items are using most of your iPhone storage, go to .
Watch the video above to learn how to free up additional space on your device.
Clearing Messages
In a previous article about freeing “Other” from your iPhone storage, the main culprit was the app.
There is a lot of data in Message Details (including audio, video, and image attachments) that usually takes up most of the space.
Cleaning threads with attachments and threads with attachments will definitely free up some extra space, giving you more room to work with.
Deleting Unused Apps
In a world where there is an app for everything, it’s tempting to have so many apps on your iPhone ready to go with a tap.
In my use on iPhones of various sizes, many apps (especially games) use .
As iPhone hardware’s capabilities increase, apps need to follow the pack and grow app size due to increased picture resolution, higher quality sound, richer user interfaces, and more.
Honestly deleting any app will not degrade your experience due to wi-fi availability and re-downloadability of apps from App Store. You will benefit greatly from not having extra games and face swapping apps and you will be able to save more media from your daily life.
Media Erase and Export
Many iPhone users benefit greatly from additional storage due to the fact that they have received or downloaded too many files. This is a double-edged sword as we sometimes forget to clean or empty the media to make room for more.
Periodically, it is an excellent way to provide permanently available storage. On a Mac or PC, any photo editing program will work to offload pictures and save them elsewhere.
iTunes music is mainly stored in the cloud, but we can stream media to our devices by saving individual songs, albums or playlists. We often forget during our use and they can certainly accumulate and save a lot of extra space.
If songs are purchased or in iCloud Music Library, they can be downloaded again later as needed.
restore iPhone
Most of the time, it’s a good idea to bring back only the necessary Data from scratch. This means not relying on an iTunes or iCloud backup file and actually freeing up important media and choosing during setup.
The advantage of doing this is to boot your iPhone and start adding media selectively. This is also a way to avoid the monotony of looking at all your media and selectively deleting it.
If you set it up as a new phone, you can still use all your iCloud or Gmail data and any information from iTunes, but that and ghost storage (like the Other mentioned above) will.
Using all the available free space is a dream come true for an iPhone user, and with a little bit of normal execution you should have no issues when you need to use that space for something important.
