The first step is to find out what’s taking up the space on your device and the best way to do that is to move to

Go to Settings.

Click On General.

Than Tap on iPhone Storage.

Here on the top of the screen you will see a complete breakdown of how much space is being used and for what.

This will be a detailed list of all the apps, media, mails, downloads and other items using up the precious storage space on your iPhone. 

Now that you are aware of what’s taking up the disk space of your iPhone, let’s see how to clear up this space. 

Let’s find out how to clear the cache on your iPhone in 2 simple steps-

Step 1: On your iPhone, move to Settings.

Step 2: Go to Safari

Step 3: In Safari, select Clear History and Website Data and confirm.

How often do you find yourself taking an important snapshot of your screen, thinking it may come in handy later? If the answer is multiple times a day, and more so if you are an Instagram or Pinterest addict, then you are in serious need of managing your photo gallery. 

No, you do not have to delete the pictures, all you have to do is use iCloud or Google photos to move your photos to the cloud and free up space on your device. 

Deleting unwanted photos is a good way to clear up more space but is viable only if you have the time on your hand and most importantly, the heart to give up on photos. P.S. it will be difficult for you if you are a collector. 

To delete multiple photos at one time, just move to Settings.

Click on iPhone Storage

Go To Photos app.

Another thing about the iPhone is that it even stores the recently deleted pictures, so don’t forget to go to the recently deleted folder to clear up the bin.

Just like we get rid of unused things at our home to make space for new and updated utility items, you need to delete the apps you haven’t used for sometime. However, there are certain apps that you do not use often but you want to keep the data, then the iPhone offers an amazing option to offload. Offloading is highly recommended if you do not use the app more often and it also takes up larger space on your phone, but you want to keep the data. 

Once you have identified the apps you don’t need installed on your phone, you can go ahead and manually offload these apps by clicking on every individual app and selecting the offload app option. 

Protip: The apps on the top are the ones that take up most of the space, it would be a good idea to start at the top. 

To save you a lot of time and effort, iOS offers its services for the same.

Step1: Go to Settings

Step 2: Click on iTunes and App Store

Step3: Than click on Offload Unused Apps at the end of the screen.

Your iOS will automatically offload the apps that you have not been using for some time. 

As much as you think you should save old chats for when you may need them later, you need to know that iMessages take up a lot of space on your device. Did you know your device saves every picture, document, video and file shared through iMessages? 

From your app list, tap on messages and you will be able to see how much space your documents and data from iMessages is taking up. You can further review the large attachments and delete them manually. 

You can also delete old messages by selecting every single thread individually. 

If you do not want to delete all the old messages, moving them to iCloud would be a great option as it will free up space on your device and you will still be able to access your messages when you need them, and from all your devices. 

Who knows, you might just end up clearing up a noticeable amount of space on your device. 

Are you one of those people who always hit the download button on a podcast or a video the moment you listen to them?

It won’t be long enough before you see the “storage almost full” while trying to click a picture or make a video, even on a 64 GB storage device. 

Apps like Netflix and Spotify are the ones that exist on almost every device, there are a very few people who don’t use them to see their favourite shows or listen to music and podcasts. You need to know that all the space taken up by an app is not necessarily from it, but from the files that have been downloaded on that app. 

It is possible that you may have downloaded books on iBooks, Kindle, Juggernaut or Audible.

Downloaded tracks on spotify, or Podcasts may be getting backed up with all the episodes you have downloaded.

You may have downloaded movies on Netflix, just to watch them later when you do not have sufficient data speed.

You may at times just forget what all you have actually downloaded in your apps that end up eating up a large chunk of your storage space. 

You need to check if your apps are hanging on to unwanted files for you to see offline, and if they are, then you just need to delete them from your device.

While the process may be a little bit different for different apps, you will most likely find all the files stored on your device in the library.

Once you have found files in the library that you do not really need, just swipe left and click delete on any file that you may want to get rid of.
