Do you need more space on your iPhone or your iPad? Your iPhone or your Ipad will send you warning messages about your storage being entirely full. Once you establish that your iPhone is full, there are a few things that you can do to free up space.
Free up Space From Recommendations on your iPhone or iPad
1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Under Settings, tap General.
3. Now select iPhone or iPad Storage.
4. Here you will be able to see how your Device storage is distributed amongst different apps and what is taking up the most space.
5. Depending on how your Storage is being used, you may see some recommendations for freeing up the space like reviewing large attachments in Messages or offloading unused apps. Tap on each recommendation to learn more. Some recommendations run automatically in the background like offloading unused apps. With this turned on, apps that you have not used in a while will be uninstalled from your device without removing your documents or data. If you re-install that app, your information will still be available.
