How to free up storage space on your iPhone

A lot of storage space is occupied by processes running in the background, among other things, and you may not even notice it. So you lose a lot of storage capacity, which you must first release again, so that your "Phone works again without restriction and you can save data without concern.

1. First, it is recommended to delete those apps that you actually no longer need. To do this, go to "General" under "Settings" and then select "Usage". If you want to delete an app, simply tap on it and then go to "Delete app".
2. In addition, it is a good idea to save photos and videos either in a cloud or on an external storage medium or the PC. Simply connect your iPhone to your PC and move the files in question. So you also get additional storage space on your iPhone.
3. Much storage capacity is also lost by the sometimes very long chat histories on WhatsApp. Therefore, check whether you really need all chats. Falls nicht, können Sie die Verläufe unter „Einstellungen“ > „Chats“ > „Alle Chats leeren“ löschen.
4. Nutzen Sie auch Cleaning-Programme. Diese bereinigen Ihren Speicher von zusätzlichem Datenmüll, den Sie so womöglich gar nicht zu fassen bekommen.
