Need more space
on your iPhone or iPad?
Here are a few tips.
You can manage storage
on your device
with recommendations,
or you can do it manually.
Freeing up space
with recommendations
is an easy way
to manage your storage
without having
to check each app.
First let's see
how much storage we have.
Open Settings.
Tap General.
♪
And then tap
iPhone or iPad Storage.
Here you'll see how your device
storage is being used
and what's taking up
the most space.
Depending on how
your storage is being used,
you may see some recommendations
for freeing up space,
like reviewing large attachments
in Messages
or offloading unused apps.
Tap each recommendation
to learn more.
Some recommendations run
automatically in the background,
like offloading unused apps.
With this turned on,
apps you haven't used in a while
will be uninstalled
from your device
without removing
your documents or data.
If you reinstall an app,
your information
will still be there.
Now let's take a look at how
to free up space manually.
We'll start with Messages.
First tap the app.
If you tap
Review Large Attachments,
you'll see the largest photos,
videos, and attachments
from your conversations.
You'll also see how much space
different types of documents
are taking up.
To delete attachments
you don't need to keep,
go to the document type,
like photos.
Tap Edit
in the upper-right corner,
then select what you'd like
to delete.
♪
Tap the trash icon,
and you're done.
Now let's explore one more way
to free up space.
To offload and delete apps
manually,
tap Offload App,
and then tap Offload App again
to uninstall it.
♪
Need to make more room?
You can also delete unused apps
and remove large files,
like videos.
And then you'll have room
for new photos, apps, and more.
