We’ve all had it…

Here’s a few hacks to solving this space issue on your iPhone…

1. Download Google Photos

Google Photos is a beautiful way to save you space. It’s magical. Start by downloading the app here, back-up all your photos for free (unlimited) with no catches, and start emptying your camera roll using Google’s suggested deleting. It’s a great way to clear all of your camera roll.

Whenever you are online go to photos.google.com to view all of your photos, search details like location, objects and people, create albums and videos too, you’ll also get “a year ago” nudges from your past photos. Google Photos will save you a lot of data but also give you a better photo experience.

2. Delete stock apps

If you have an iPhone with iOS10 installed. You might not know this but you can delete stock apps, this is everything from the basic calendar to the calculator.

If you ever need them again, you can re-download them from the iTunes/App Store. This means, if you have something like Google Chrome, you can delete Safari browser, or even, if you have Google Calendar, you could delete the Apple Calendar. Huge space saver!

3. Clear Message History

Sometimes messages on iMessage can get very long, without you even noticing. Think about all the images, links, and messages you’ve sent knowing the Apple locally stores this. This could save you 1GB of space.

Go to: Settings > Messages > Message History > Keep Messages, select a time parameter, then click Delete. Try not to use “forever” in the future, unless it’s important.
