When you are running out of storage space, turning on iCloud photo syncing is a very good solution. With the iCloud option in the settings, you can sync your photos and ** to the cloud, while only the thumbnails will be kept locally, which greatly reduces the footprint. For example, if you have 30GB of photos and **, after syncing via iCloud, the local will only occupy 14GB of space. Generally speaking, buying a 50GB** for only 6 yuan can solve the storage problem of photos and **.

For people who often use WeChat and are active in group chats, WeChat chat history often takes up a lot of storage space. Since WeChat doesn't support cloud synchronization of chat history, it's very cumbersome to clean up. First of all, you need to pay attention to the order of the two deletions. When you delete it for the first time, you can only delete the ** and files in the chat history, and the text and emojis can be completely cleared when you delete it for the second time. Therefore, when cleaning up WeChat chat history, you should carefully confirm whether it is deleted or not.

In your iPhone's storage, there is a tool called"System data"(originally called"Other memory")。According to the official explanation, these are system caches that will release space on a regular basis and will also be automatically reduced according to the needs of the user. However, this process is not controllable. But we can clean up this part of the memory with a little trick. Just change the system time to at least 1 month in the settings and you'll be pleasantly surprised"System data"Miraculously cleared.

Generally speaking, we will filter photos and ** before deleting them, but this is different for screenshots. Most screenshots are just for sharing and there is no need to save them. Luckily, I found a shortcut that saved me a lot of trouble by deleting today's, this week's, this month's screenshots, or even all of them. Follow me and send me a private message"Delete screenshots"to get a link to the shortcut.

By mastering these four tips, you can free up at least 20GB of storage space to get your iPhone back to smooth as new. But that's only a small part of the solution to the storage space problem. To better manage your storage space, you can also consider the following measures:

Have you installed a lot of apps on your iPhone? If there are apps you haven't used in a long time, consider deleting them. At the same time, browse your albums and folders to see if there are any useless**, and files that can be deleted to free up more storage space.

For users who like to watch movies and listen to them, using the streaming service is a good choice. By subscribing to these services, you can watch and listen to movies at any time without having to save a large number of files on your phone.

If you often need to carry large amounts of files and data, consider purchasing an external storage device, such as a flash drive or external hard drive. By storing some files that you don't use frequently in an external device, you can free up more iPhone storage space.

Some apps may take up a lot of storage space, and you may not need all the features they use. As a result, you can view the storage usage of each app in your settings and selectively optimize the settings based on your needs to reduce the storage space they consume.

In a word, iPhone storage full may lead to stuttering and other performance issues. By managing storage space wisely, cleaning up useless files and apps, and using a few tips to free up space, you can keep your iPhone running smoothly at all times. At the same time, proper data management can also improve your mobile experience.
