Between apps, music, photos and other data stored on the iPhone,
running out of space is a common issue for many users. Unlike android
phones, the iPhone does not have expandable memory, so the capacity that
you have is what you are stuck with. This is becoming more and more of a
problem as app file sizes increase due to HD content, and special
camera features in the 5S like slow-motion video take up more space.
While running out of free space may seem like an unavoidable problem,
there are many different steps you can take to fix it. By using the
built-in usage monitor it is easy to tell where most of your storage is
being used up. After determining where the largest files are on the
iPhone, steps can be taken to delete these files to free up space on the
user’s iPhone once again.
As you can see with the image of my usage, most of the space on my
iPhone is used for Music and Photos. For most users it is safe to assume
that photos will take up a large storage capacity on their iPhone. An
option to eliminate this issue is by backing up their photos to a
computer, and then removing the old photos from the iPhone camera roll.
The user could place photos that they would like to have access to on
their phone or in Dropbox to help keep space clear on the iPhone.
Another big area that eats up storage is apps. A few apps on my phone
are close to or over 1GB and for users with a 16GB iPhone that is a
huge amount of storage to be using just for an app. If you are low on
storage consider getting rid of apps that you no longer need or use and
evaluate what apps you need. The same goes for text messages as they can
rack up storage space on the iPhone as well. By deleting old text
messages it will improve the available storage space on your iPhone.
