Generally, we delete apps, videos, and pictures from our iPhones when we run out of space. However, we can try a few practical tips to clear the area instead. We want to safeguard a lot of the images and apps on our iPhones that we use on a daily basis. We will never choose to delete them if there is no longer any space left over to store crucial files or data.

Here are some suggestions I have for clearing the iPhone's storage:

Solution 1: Clearing the cache memory of browser

The cache is a volatile memory that provides high-speed access to frequently used data online. Browsing different pages online creates cache memory. It captures some space.

Solution 2: Deleting the reading list

A lot of space is used by Safari offline reading list. To clear this list, we need to tap on the >Setting >General >Storage & iCloud Usage >Manage Storage >Safari >Offline reading list >Click on Delete will delete the cache.

Solution 3: Google Photos

Google Photos is third-party software that helps to solve the iPhone problem to a large extent. There is an unlimited free storage facility. For it, an Internet connection is needed. We can use this software to save our pictures, videos.

Solution 4: Dropbox

We can use Dropbox to save photos automatically whenever we click it. Up to 2.5GB is free.

Solution 5: Deleting the text storage

Messages we send or receive used to get stored in the iPhone by default, thus using the space of the iPhone. Instead of saving them forever, we can reduce the duration up to 30 days or a year.

Open Setting > Click on Messages > Click on Message History > Click on Keep Messages > Change forever option to 30 days or a year > Click on Delete to complete the task.

Solution 6: Clear the history and web data

Whatever we search online, Safari keeps a record of its data which unknowingly gets stored on the phone. We need to clear that record to free the space. For that, visit Settings >Safari >Clear History and Website Data.

Solution 7: Get Rid of the Junk files

When we connect an iPhone with a computer, other data such as email, temporary data, cache, cookies are stored up as junk files. To remove them, we need a third-party app such as PhoneClean. Before cleaning it, ask our permission to clean.

Thanks.
