Among some of the few things that iPhone users often complain about is device storage. The shortage of storage space is often a headache and limits their ability to use their phone as they want to. Storing photos, downloading music, installing games and apps, and doing other tasks can become a challenge.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are a few methods you can use to free up space on your iPhone and streamline your phone\u2019s operations. In this article, we are going to discuss ways in which you can make the most out of what you have on your iPhone.<\/p>\n

Checking your usage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The first step in clearing up the storage is identifying which apps are taking the most space on your iPhone. It is essential to clear things that you no longer need.<\/p>\n

To check the storage status on your iPhone, follow the steps:<\/p>\n

Open Settings<\/strong>, and go to General<\/strong>. Now click on iPhone Storage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Checking<\/p>\n

Your iPhone will then show you the used and available storage space at the top along with the list of apps on your device with the amount of space they are occupying.<\/p>\n

Checking App data<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The size of the app that you will see in the Storage window above will include the size that the app consumes as well as the size of the data inside it. If you click on some apps, you will discover that some apps are smaller in size but can store a lot of files in the form of internal downloads.<\/p>\n

For example, the YouTube app is around 146MB, but if you have videos and other such files saved offline on your phone through the app, it will take up more space. Just like you can see in the image below.<\/p>\n

\"Checking<\/p>\n

You can tap on any app icon to check and compare the app size with the extra downloads it makes.<\/p>\n

Deleting Unused Apps<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A majority of iPhone apps are small, but there are some which may consume a large amount of space. These may be gaming apps with 3D graphics and high resolution.<\/p>\n

You may have some old apps on your phone which you don\u2019t use or games that you may have finished and don\u2019t play anymore. If so, you can remove them to make some extra space.<\/p>\n

If you are looking to remove an app, all you have to do is click on its name in the storage and tap on the Delete App<\/strong> button. Or you can use the option Offload Unused Apps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Deleting<\/p>\n

If you ever want to play again, you can always download them back from the App store.<\/p>\n
