Saving storage to your iPhone and iPad is easy
People tend to lose storage space on their iPhones and iPads very easily, but there is a way to free up space for more data
Storage issues seem to be a constant occurrence on smartphones and other devices. Although the latest iPhone models, such as the Apple iPhone 15, iPhone 14, iPhone 13, and even older models like the iPad, have a generous amount of space, the storage tank seems to be constantly full.
The reason is that you simply take too many photos, record too many videos or download too many apps. And nothing is more annoying than being asked to free up space while downloading or updating a new app.
Know these few simple tips to free up space on your smartphone and have a more organized iPhone or iPad. This will help you free up important cache files, apps, and more to make room for new apps. This will effectively help you free up space on your iPhone or iPad.
Tips for freeing up space on your iPhone or iPad
Know your total and available storage
– First, check the used and unused storage space on your iPhone or iPad.
– Go to Settings, General, then Storage & iCloud Usage, or simply Storage.
– You may see a list of storage optimization recommendations, followed by a list of installed apps and their storage usage.
– Tap an app to learn more about its storage.
It is important to note that cached data and temporary files may not be included. This will give you a general idea of the apps with the most memory.
How to check which apps are taking up the most storage space
The Manage Storage option on your iPhone or iPad will display a list of apps on your device, as well as the amount of space they’re taking up. Tap on any of them and it will appear in two forms. First, the application takes up space, followed by the data and documents it stores. Find out what’s really taking up most of your iPhone or iPad’s memory.
Mark unused applications
Don’t keep unused apps on your device in case you need them later! Go to the Manage Storage list and delete rarely used apps. This will undoubtedly free up a significant amount of storage space on your iPhone or iPad.
Is your library full of photos and videos? Then clean it
Photos and long recorded or downloaded videos tend to take up more storage space than apps. So, if you’re running out of storage space, now’s the time to check your gallery, which is probably cluttered with old photos and videos. One method is to sync your photos and videos with a cloud storage service, such as iCloud or others. Then simply delete your photo library.
Keep files in cache! Clearing the Safari cache:
Remove any junk or cached files from the Safari web browser on your iPhone or iPad or any other mobile browser you use. If you use Safari, go to Settings and select Safari. Simply select Clear History and Website Data.
