How to Free Up iPhone Storage Without Deleting Your Favorite Apps
1 min read
Summary
You can free up space on your iPhone without deleting apps by streamlining old messages and big attachments, clearing browser data, getting rid of offline downloads you don’t need, offloading unused apps, and moving your photos and videos to the cloud.
To clear space taken up by messages and attachments, reduce the retention period for messages in Settings > Messages > Keep Messages and choose a shorter period, and sorted large messages and attachments in Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Messages and delete the ones you don’t want.
To clear browser data, go to the Safari menu, go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data to remove cached files and history, and for more precision, tap Advanced > Website Data to view and selectively delete data from specific websites.
To remove offline downloads you don’t need, tap into downloads sections of music and podcast apps and delete anything you’ve already listened to or watched, or you’re unlikely to get round to watching or listening to.
