David & David show you 25 different ways to free up storage space on your iPhone, and how to optimize your iPhone so it never runs out of storage again.
Videos and photos generally take up the most iPhone storage space. Start by deleting the videos and pictures you no longer need. Pay extra attention to ProRes videos and ProRAW images. These files are significantly larger than regular videos and photos.
If you don't want to delete your photos, you can still compress images and trim videos to clear iPhone storage space. We've even built a helpful shortcut that compresses ProRAW images for you!
📱Compress iPhone Photos: www.icloud.com...
Next, delete offline content you no longer need. This includes music, podcasts, and saved episodes from streaming services like Netflix.
Offloading or deleting unused apps, deleting old messages, and clearing caches can help you free up iPhone storage space.
If you're still low on storage space, or if you're receiving a notification that says iPhone storage full, transfer your photos and videos to a computer. We'll show you how to transfer these files to Macs and PCs.

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.

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!!😊

@rhyami Жыл бұрын

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.

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

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.

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.
