iPhone clean up: With these applications it is possible

You use your smartphone almost every day - that's exactly why numerous files accumulate on the phone. If the device slows down or hangs, it is a good idea to clean up the memory. This involves removing files that you no longer need from your smartphone.

How to tidy up your iPhone

Before you clean out the files on your device, first create a backup. This way, you'll prevent losing important data. The operating system of your iPhone automatically cleans up your system little by little by deleting temporary data or clearing the cache. But you can also clean up the memory manually.

1. If you don't need messages in messengers like WhatsApp, you can delete them completely. This saves a lot of storage space on the device. Alternatively, you can first create a backup of the chats and save them on a computer.
2. Then delete your chats via "Settings" > "Chats" and select "Empty all chats".
3. About "Settings" > "Messages" > "Keep messages" you can also set when older messages should be deleted automatically. These options can be found in almost every messenger.
4. Also delete apps that you no longer need. Go to "Settings" > "General" > "iPhone storage". Here you can see which apps take up how much memory. Zudem haben Sie die Möglichkeit, Apps und Fotos in iCloud auszulagern. Klicken Sie weiter unten auf eine App, haben Sie die Option „App löschen“.
