Delete App<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nMove Photos and Videos to the Cloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n One of the easiest ways to free up space on your iPhone without deleting your photos and videos is to move them to the cloud. However, moving such content to your iCloud is probably not the wisest solution because you\u2019ll lose it on your iCloud the moment you delete it from your phone. For this reason, it\u2019s best to transfer your photos and videos to a third-party cloud storage service such as Dropbox, Google Photos, Box, or OneDrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you choose to transfer your photos and videos to Google Photos, here are the steps you need to take to free up storage on an iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n\nGo to privacy.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID to your iCloud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Navigate to Transfer a copy of your data<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nProceed to Request to transfer a copy of your data<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFrom the drop-down menu, choose Google Photos<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\nSelect Photos<\/strong> and Videos<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\nClick Continue<\/strong>, and if you have enough storage, click Continue<\/strong> again.<\/li>\n\n\n\nSign in to your Google account, grant access to Apple, and proceed to transfer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nDelete Photos, Videos, and Other Content From Apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The photos, videos, and music you download from your apps are one of the main reasons you\u2019re running low on storage. Many people who use iMessage or other messaging apps send and receive a lot of videos and photos without even realizing many of them are downloaded to their phones. Deleting this content can significantly free up space. To do this, you need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nGo to Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nTap on General<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nTap iPhone Storage<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nFind the app with downloaded content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll have the option to Offload App<\/strong> or Delete App<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nTap on Delete App<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThis will remove the downloaded content from the app and free up space on your iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Offload Apps You Don\u2019t Use Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Instead of deleting an app, you can simply offload it – remove the app, but keep all the data and documents. This allows you to reinstall the app at another time and continue using it with all the content that you had before you offloaded the app. To do this, follow the simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nGo to Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nTap on General<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nTap on iPhone Storage<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nSelect the app you want to offload.<\/li>\n\n\n\n Tap on Offload App<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s also an option to set your phone to automatically offload apps by going to Settings, then to the App Store, and turning on the toggle switch to Offload Unused Apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optimize Photo Storage <\/h2>\n\n\n\n Apple has developed a solution to help you make the most of your iPhone storage: The photo storage optimization feature enables you to save smaller photo files locally instead of original versions. This is very handy if your phone is running low on storage because you can get more space on your iPhone and still access the content in its original form by downloading the photos from iCloud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To turn this feature on, go to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSettings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nScroll down to Photos<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nMake sure the blue checkmark is on next to Optimize iPhone Storage<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\nAutomatically Delete SMS Messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n With the rise of smartphones, texting has become a common way to communicate with people. You can share photos, videos, voice messages, and other content with just a few taps of your finger. Therefore, not only your photos and videos are to blame for stuffing your iPhone storage. To automatically set your phone to delete the message history, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nGo to Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nChoose Messages<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nTap Keep Messages<\/strong> under Message History<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nSelect if you want to retain messages for 30 days, one year, or forever.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nClear Out Your Web Browser Cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Clearing your cache can help free up some storage space and make your web browsing much faster. It\u2019s worth mentioning that other methods on this list may be more effective in freeing up your storage than clearing out the cache, but every little helps. To clear out the cache, go to: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSettings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nScroll down to Safari<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nTap Clear History<\/strong> and Website Data<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAs these steps offer you a chance to free up space on your iPhone, you can always opt for the easiest option – to buy storage, i.e., upgrade iCloud storage. Depending on your needs, you can get 50GB, 200GB, or 2TB. Most users are just fine with 50GB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other than heeding all these tips, you can clear iPhone storage by deleting old emails from your iCloud or deleting files from the iCloud drive. If all of this doesn\u2019t free up enough storage, you can take a look at your iCloud and try to get more space by making additional changes to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
