Smartphones
such as the iPhone 6s offer a great way of capturing and consuming
content, whether it’s downloading shows from iPlayer, taking pictures or
recording 4K video. But all of those megabytes add up, so it's easy to run out
of space. If you’ve reached the limits of your iPhone’s storage space, this
quick tutorial will show you how to free up some extra gigabytes on your
smartphone.
How to get extra space on
your iPhone?
If
you need to extract more space on your iPhone, the first step is to get rid of
any apps you might not be using. We often try different apps before settling on
our favourite, so your first step is to remove any apps you don’t use anymore.

After
that, it’s time to take a closer look at exactly how you’re using your
space. To do this, head to Settings | General and then Storage and iCloud
usage. There you’ll see a rundown of your local and iCloud storage use, so
click Manage Storage under Storage to see just where your memory has gone.

You’ll
see a list of applications along with the space they’re taking up and iOS
usefully displays them from highest to lowest. The top culprit on the iPhone
we’re using is Photos & Camera, followed by Podcasts, Music, Messages and
iPlayer so these are the first ones we’ll investigate. According to iOS, the
Photo Library on our current iPhone is currently holding a huge 13.1GB of
files, so first we’ll go through them and delete the ones you we don’t want
anymore. After you’ve picked through your Photo Library, head to the next
memory-hogging application on your iPhone.

For
us, that’s podcasts so, after heading to the app, we deleted several of the
podcasts we’ve already listened to, to help free up some extra space. Continue
the process going down the list, and you should see some good space gains.

Music
is third on the list of our most used apps, and while it’s worth deleting the
songs you don’t regularly listen to, Apple Music means you can simply stream
your library using Wi-Fi or 4G. That way, you still have access to your entire
music collection, but it doesn’t take up valuable space on your iPhone.
