Applications on iPhone storage refer to the amount of space that apps take up on an iPhone. The amount of storage an app uses can vary depending on the apps size, the amount of data it stores, and how frequently it is used. To check the storage used by apps on an iPhone, you can go to Settings > General > . Cached data and temporary data might not be counted as usage. You can tap an apps name for more information about its storage. In the detailed view, you can offload the app, which frees up storage used by the app, but keeps its documents and data. The types of content that can take up space on an iPhone include:
- Apps: Installed apps and their content, and content stored in "On My iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" directory in the Files app, and Safari downloads.
- Photos: Photos and videos stored in the Photos app.
- Media: Music, videos, podcasts, ringtones, artwork, and Voice Memos.
- Mail: Emails and their attachments.
- Apple Books: Books and PDFs in the Books app.
- Messages: Messages and their attachments.
If your device storage is almost full or full, you might get an alert. You can optimize and manage your storage space by checking the amount of device storage youve used and offloading apps that you dont use frequently. You can also use iCloud storage to keep photos, videos, device backups, and more, and keep this content up-to-date across your devices.
