The following list provides different ways to clear iPhone storage:
1. Offload Unused Apps
- In Settings > General > iPhone Storage, tap an app you don’t use often.
- Choose Offload App (this removes the app but keeps its data, so if you reinstall, you pick up where you left off).
2. Delete Apps & Data
- In the same list, tap an app → Delete App to remove it completely.
3. Clear Safari Cache
- Go to Settings > Apps > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
4. Manage Photos & Videos
- Open Photos app.
- Delete unneeded photos/videos (check Collections > Utilities > Recently Deleted and empty it to free space).
- Consider turning on iCloud Photos (Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos) and selecting Optimize iPhone Storage.
5. Clear Messages
- Go to Settings > Apps > Messages > Keep Messages and change from Forever to 30 Days or 1 Year.
- Delete old conversations with large attachments.
6. Remove Downloads
