To clean up iPhone storage effectively, start by checking what is occupying space on the device in Settings > General > iPhone Storage. From here, several steps can help free storage:
- Remove large files and videos by deleting unnecessary or old videos from the Photos app, especially those in the Videos album. Remember to empty the Recently Deleted folder to reclaim space.
- Delete unused apps or use the "Offload Unused Apps" feature, which removes the app but keeps its data for future reinstallation.
- Clear Safari cache and website data by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
- Delete old messages and large attachments by managing Message settings or deleting files manually via iPhone Storage.
- Consider using smart cleaner apps like CleanMy®Phone that identify duplicate photos, blurry images, and large videos to speed up cleanup and optimize file sizes.
Additionally, review and remove downloads from apps like Music, Podcasts, or TV that are no longer needed, and periodically clear caches and temporary files. By systematically addressing these areas, significant storage can be freed up on the iPhone without losing important data.
