Managing iPhone Storage Effectively

Many users face the issue of insufficient storage on their iPhones, largely due to larger photo and video files stemming from improved camera technology. A practical strategy involves accessing the settings app to visually assess which files and apps consume the most space, allowing for targeted deletions of large attachments or unused applications. Notably, users can benefit from tools like Google Photos, which offers compression and backup options, freeing up local device storage by deleting copies after backup. Enabling settings such as high efficiency for photos and auto-deleting old messages can further assist in optimizing storage without sacrificing digital memories.
