5 Ways Of Freeing Up Your iPhone’s Storage Space

Whether you have iOS 9.1 or any other iPhone version you need to clear up space at one. The cool thing is that there are many ways of doing it. Some of these ways include:

Get rid of useless apps and media collections

I’m sure that you have Apps that you no longer use. While you might be bragging to your friends that you have the Apps, they are useless if you aren’t using them. To free up your iPhone’s space you should delete the useless Apps. To delete the apps you should open the settings menu and tap on “General.” You should then select “Usage” and wait for the app list to load. Choose the Apps that you no longer use and press on delete.

Media collections such as music and videos also clog up plenty of storage space. To get rid of the videos or music that you don’t need you should tap on “videos” or “Music” then choose the file that you want to delete. If you want to delete the entire media library you should press “Edit” then tap on the red minus symbol next to video clips or “All Music.” When deleting the music or videos you should note that you can’t reverse that you can’t reverse the process; therefore, you should be certain that you no longer need the media collections.

Optimize the storage of your phone

The other way of freeing up your iPhone’s storage is optimizing the phone storage. iOS 9.1 and other few versions give you the option of storing your videos and photos in lower resolutions. You store the lower resolution media in your phone and the full version in your iCloud account. To optimize your phone you should go to settings and tap on photos & camera. You should then press on optimize phone storage and you won’t have to worry of space.

Take advantage of wireless storage

Unlike other phones, iPhones don’t give you the option of adding a microSD card so that you can expand on storage. While this is the case, it doesn’t mean that you can’t expand on your storage. The most effective way of going about it is using wireless storage such as sandisk flash drive. You save the music and photos in these units.

Get rid of messages

Messages from your friends and online accounts can quickly accumulate thus taking plenty of your phone’s space. To delete the messages you should go to the messages folder and click on the message that you don’t want and click on delete. It’s also wise that you set your messages to delete the messages after a few days.

Third party tools

There are many third party tools that you can use to clear your iPhone. All you need to do is install the program in your phone and the tool will remove the items that add no value to you.
