How To Free Up TONS Of iPhone Storage [2023]

[@PayetteForward]

Have any tips we didn't mention in this video? Let us know in the comments below!

[@zorazhou6775]

Hi, Would you like to cooperate with MobileClean which helps free up iphone storage.

[@peteypops]

Just pause, use the video slide at the bottom, and replay from an earlier place

[@scottstramyk]

Would love a solution to transfer these photos and videos to a external harddrive /NAS system. Is there a way to do it successfully?

[@lydiag53]

How do we stop the screen splits and slow down the ads. Everything is extra. These phones are so dam expensive this should already be include, plus with a longer cord and headset like the old days….

[@jaymelz324]

The fact that we need this in 2023 tells me that apple has some work to do regarding this

[@louisinese]

I have a 12 and a galaxy s9. I wish I could buy physical storage for my iphone instead of paying monthly for storage.

[@loserlane]

@@louisinesewell, at this point you can look into hard drives to save your files on (or pendrives that are inserted directly into phones without the need of a computer)

[@jaymelz324]

@@loserlane the pen drive is clutch I have one. But still, in 2023 that we need to do something like this is crazh

[@Att0mixz]

They definitely have a LOT of work to do. I have a 64GB iPhone 12 and I reset everything last month (June 2023) And if system data didn’t exist I would be able to store more!! Resetting helped but then it started eating up again and being a 64Gb iPhone, 9-10Gb of system data is a LOT. I only have like 100 songs downloaded and compared to my mother (64GB 11, she has just as much as space as I do) while having 8,000 photos and 50-60 apps.

[@SacredUser666]

my guess is that instead of them giving us the max amount of gb you can have they just want to make money from us buying space

[@robster7787]

10:31 Keep message for 30 days is the one setting I’ll never touch to activate. After a close relative of mine passed away, it’s literally the only history of communication I have left. I have exported the messages, but its way to important to delete.

Facts

[@HYDRAEDITSOFFICIALYT]

I’m on an iPhone and that’s facts

[@rhyami]

Thank you for helping me reclaim over 20 GB of space on my phone. I do believe it’s important to mention one downside of automatically offloading apps though. If the app is removed from the App Store and you have offloaded it for some reason, you cannot reinstall it, even if your personal data is left on the phone. At that point, you were just forced to delete the app altogether. This may not be a problem for major apps like Facebook or dropbox, but it is a huge problem for smaller apps from independent developers. I have lost several cooking apps that way. Since I didn’t remove them from one of my other devices, I still get to use them on there with no problem. That makes me really sad. 😞 for that reason, I only offload apps manually, and I’m only willing to offload ones that are backed by large companies with deep pockets that I know I can reinstall. I wish we could go back to the days when you could download an app in iTunes and put it on your devices so you wouldn’t lose an app because Apple through an app out of the store for not updating an icon or because now they’re on a cycle where you have to post updates every few months or get kicked out of the store. Again, thank you for helping me reclaim some space on my phone. :-) Music was the big culprit for me as well as a lot of podcast files. I haven’t been paying attention to them and didn’t realize how they were creeping up on me.

THIS IS JUST THE VIDEO THAT I NEEDED!!!!! Thank you so much for making it!!!!! I had spent HOURS trying to figure out how to save my photos yet free space on my phone!!! And downloading them with a cable seemed quite complicated!!! I used to do it with an android and it was a very simple process, but with iPhone has not been. So thank you!!!

Hi , same here . I have about 250GB of photos on iPhone . Photos app on PC showing only 5gb of data . Do I have to transfer batch by batch ? The usb folder for iPhone shows empty all the time , tried all the internet tips !! It was lot easier when had android phone !!

[@mikegillespie266]

Please slow down! Especially when jumping around from setting to another section of the phone, from 1 app to another. That portion of the video showing where your clicking on..is visible for about half a second. It’s frustrating trying to follow along with you guys. I watch your videos on my IPad with my phone in hand and still,have to keep backing the video up. Very frustrating!

This was friggin AWESOME! The time you took to explain it step-by-step while actually showing the steps on the iPhone itself was SO valuable and the steps themselves were impactful because so much of this is not really explained to you. For example, I had no idea that the phone kept so many copies of everything. Not to mention that when you delete something it’s not deleted until you permanently delete it. Thanks again!!😊

[@tamaikajones6841]

Did this actually work for you?

[@DVTOM]

Weird when you got to Music and storage 7:45, I don't see any of the setting you showed? I'm on IOS 17.2 Music storage says I have 85GB...how do I offload those to iCloud and then delete it off of my iPhone 13 Pro Max

[@dukaidazisdhAjd]

Finally I Removed my iCloud Lock google iremover I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is. For example 1:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 3:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation

For the last two months my storage has been extremely high and for the previous month my system data was over 80GB. Time after time I tried to delete anything/something to get those numbers down. After watching this video I deleted apps I no longer use and then cleared the Safari cache and a few more=My storage was reduced to 19GB of system data-AMAZING!

So , what's the reason for icloud if it's not a way to delete photos from your iphone and have them on the "icloud" and save space on your phone?

[@thedivachannel3790]

I love my iPad and I always will but I'm still wishing Apple simply becomes GENEROUS with storage like Android has done (support for affordable 500GB -1 TB external storage) instead of all these prehistoric offloading tricks and reluctant deleting. But it's understandable since they want to delay such basic features for iOS 50 or whatever just to ensure future selling points.

[@theelusivefamily9043]

I did all this. My main issue is understanding the sync option. I have read that if i turn off icloud sync for photos, delete photos on my device and then turn on cloud photo sync again, cloud will update to mirror my iPhone (meaning it will update to look like the iPhone photos, including the deleted photos, therefore it will delete). I don't know if this is true, but I don't know how to remove photo from my device and not removing from cloud. I also have google photos which crashes, onedrive which fails to upload and google drive which is always paused. Amazon prime photos is very slow to upload and is still trying to catch up, but i need to delete a lot of device photos quickly and don't know how.

[@newfanglejr]

iPhone Xr here. 64GB (archaic, I know - it was handed down to me by Fred Flintstone) - anyway. 64GB is actually only 59.55 capacity, according to iTunes, and the actual biggest culprits are iOs 8.92GB and system data 8.82 GB - that's nearly 20 GB without any apps, songs, photos, videos. How do I reduce these? Clearing the Safari cache made no difference to system data. I tried other app cache, too. Thanks for the video.

[@hollyruiz-livingbeyondgrief]

Question about the last part...I have iCloud sync on and this makes all my photos sync to my Mac photo app already, which makes me wonder if the photo app is my computer storage or iCloud storage? So, wouldn't importing from iPhone to the photo app create duplicates? And if you have icloud sync on, when you delete the photos off your phone, doesn't it also delete them from iCloud? What would it take for apple to make this easier?

[@audrachristine5044]

Thank you! I downloaded an app that was supposed to do this, but it actually suddenly made my iPhone storage say it was full after deleting thousands of pictures uninstalled that right away… now I have to figure out how to clean up my ICLOUD storage! Maybe you guys have a video on that…

The very last part where you mention to clear the photos from your phone by downloading them to the Photos app on your computer - after I do that, I will not see the photos on my iphone? only in the Photos app? but if my phone and computer is syncing with icloud won't the photos still appear on my phone in the Photos app? Am I thinking correctly here?
