A few years ago, for many users iOS-devices 16 GB of internal memory was enough. Now things are different. Applications and photos began to weigh more, so disk space is running very fast. Fortunately, just as quickly, and it can be free. We've put together for you a few tips on how to do it.
Remove unneeded applications
Yes, this is the most banal, but at the same time, the most effective step. Look for your device. Do you really think you need all the games or applications that you run once a year? Surely most of them can be removed without any consequences. If the remote application is still necessary, it can be easily restored from the cloud.
Reinstall the application used to zero
You've probably noticed that some applications over time begin to take up too much space. Most often it refers to the messenger clients of social networks and cloud services. Occurs is due to caching data. There are applications that allow you to clear the cache, but the easiest way to take and reinstall the app from scratch.
Use Battery Doctor for cleaning
Ignore the name of the application: in addition to information about the battery, it copes with the cleaning of rubbish. On the Junk tab, you can clear your cache and delete temporary application files, clearing disk space. In addition, Battery Doctor is able to release the memory, including through the widget or quick launch icon on the desktop. This should come in handy for gamers.
Adjust export photos and videos
From year to year camera quality in the iPhone is growing, and with it grows and the volume created by photos and videos. There's nothing to do, unfortunately, is impossible. It remains only to timely upload the contents of the "Photo" on the computer or in the cloud. If your photo is not enough space in iCloud, and the extra space you buy more you do not want to, you can use unlimited storage «Google Photos" or any other at your discretion.
Place your order in music
With the advent of Apple Music the need to store music in the memory device has disappeared. However, if you want to keep some of the music locally, to have access to it in the absence of the Internet, the approach to this issue sensibly. It is unlikely that you need a complete discography of your favorite artists - most likely, you can easily confine playlists of the most popular tracks.
Turn off auto-update podcasts
podcasts also occupy a lot of space, and, as you know, with the release of iOS 8 app for listening to them is part of the system. If you do not always listen to podcasts on your iPhone or iPad, you should disable automatic downloading of new episodes. Also, do not forget to turn on automatic deletion intercepted issues.
remove posts
It's hard to believe, but even ordinary text messages over time can easily take a few gigabytes of disk space. What can we say about iMessage and other messengersIn which, in addition to the text, sent photos, video and other media content.
Clean Safari data
All browsers store history, cache, and other data. Mobile Safari is no exception. Get into the habit at least sometimes go into the settings and Safari delete history and data.
Make a reset and recovery
And finally, the most troublesome, but at the same time effective way. Full erase the memory and reset will return your iOS-device to the pristine mind, but of course, you lose all your data. So, before you start the procedure, be sure to make a backup copy to iTunes or iCloud. After this, go to "Settings» → «Basic» → «Reset" and click "Erase all Content and Settings." Next, we can only restore your device from a backup (and even better configure both new and re-download all applications).
That seems to be all. If you know of any additional ways to clear memory space iOS-devices, tell us about them in the comments.
