How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone
- Clear Safari Browser Cache — The browser continuously stores copies of pages after you view them to load them faster during subsequent visits. These copies take up space on your smartphone. To clear the cache, go to "Settings" in the browser and find "Clear History."
- Disable My Photo Stream — This service manages the storage of videos and photos on your phone. Disabling it can free up extra megabytes used by My Photo Stream. Simply go to "Phone Settings" — "iCloud" — "Photos" to do this.
- Delete Saved Chats in Messengers — An effective tip to slightly increase your phone's memory. Often, unnecessary messages are stored in messengers and can be safely deleted.
- Reinstall Applications — Go to "Phone Settings" — "General" — "iCloud Storage" — "Manage" to see which apps take up the most space. Here you can view a list of all apps installed on your phone and how much space they occupy. To delete an app, hover over its icon and click the "Remove" button that appears. You can then reinstall them.
- Download a Movie — This advice may seem strange, but it is quite effective. Open iTunes, then check for movies available for free download. Look for a movie larger than the available space on your smartphone. Try to open it. A window will pop up indicating that your phone's memory is full and you need to clear it. You will then be advised to go to "Storage and iCloud" and optimize it. After this, you may free up about 400-500 MB on your phone.
- Clear Cache — To free up phone memory, you should focus on clearing the cache. Go to "Settings," then "Storage" — "Cache Files" and clear them.
- Download a Special App — For smartphones running the Android operating system, various apps can be downloaded that help free up memory. Choose one and follow the instructions.
- Buy a MicroSD Card — This is the simplest method. Use the internal memory of your phone primarily for installing apps, while the card will be useful for storing music, videos, and photos.
- Use Online Data Storage Services — These are suitable for storing information, music, files, photos, and more. Most well-known search engines offer free storage on their servers.
- Regularly Clear Emails and SMS — Accumulating promotional SMS and email newsletters is not practical. They will only take up space on your device. Therefore, if your phone's memory is full, it's better to delete such messages immediately.
