Little space on the phone?Here's what you can do to increase your memory

Cleaning cache (so -called.cache)

It is also worth paying attention to the application of the application.It saves files that are opened when using the application, for example, photos viewed on social networks.Particular attention should be paid to programs for streaming music or movies.The Spotify or Netflix cache can sometimes occupy a click of gigabytes.It often happens that the possibility of cleaning the cache is in the options of a given application.

There are also system solutions.In Android, it is enough to enter the "Applications" tab in the settings, then select the program and tap on "default memory".At the bottom of the screen there is a "Clean Memory" function.

In the iPhones, the procedure is slightly less intuitive.To clean the cache, remove the application and then install it again.In the "iPhone (place)" tab you need to find a program to remove.There are two options - uninstall and remove.Uninstalling does not delete the application settings and data, for example, the game will be restored after installing a given game again.Deleting the application removes both the program and its settings and data.

It is also worth cleaning the web browser's cache.

Using streaming services

There have been more than once about video files, music files and streaming applications.It is worth using such applications so as not to accumulate in the mass memory of movies or songs that take up a lot of space.Remember to regularly clean the cache of these programs.The most popular services offering music on demand are Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Apple Music.In the case of movies and series.

Reduction of the resolution of recorded movies and photos

Modern smartphones can record movies in large resolutions, which translates into the number of space they occupy.In the case of memory photos, you can save slightly less than in the case of movies.A minute of video recorded in 720p and 30 fumes./s takes about 45 megabytes.A minute video in 4K and 60 resolutions./s is up to 400 megabytes.

In smartphones with Android, the change of resolution of the recorded video can be made in the "Camera" application settings.In the iPhones, enter the "Camera" tab in the system settings.

Solutions built into the system

In Android, many possibilities are given by the already mentioned "device care" tab.From its level you can view and remove documents, images, films, sounds, the already mentioned rare applications as well as their data and settings.There is also the "optimize" function, which, among other things, cleans the cache of the smartphone.

In the "iPhone (place)" tab there is even information on the recommendations regarding memory release.The system suggests, for example, transferring photos to the ICloud cloud, removing photos from the "Last removed" folder or reviewing large attachments in the messages - for this purpose a list of these attachments is displayed, which are sorted from the largest.They can be removed directly from this list.

Memory on the phone is always not enough

As mentioned at the beginning, the mass memory of the smartphone is limited.The solutions described above will help to recover part of the memory, but you have to remember that the problem can be rid of before buying a new device.You should consciously choose the size of the memory in which the new smartphone will be equipped.Before the decision to buy another smartphone is made, it is worth checking how much memory the data collected on the current device.In the case of Android phones that support microSD cards, another smartphone should have more or less as much memory as it takes this data plus a reserve.But that's the minimum.

In the future you will be able to use a memory card, but the built -in memory is definitely more reliable.In devices where SDs cannot be used, the memory should be much larger than the number of collected data.It should be taken into account that over time their number will increase.This is the case with iPhones and some Android smartphones, for example Samsung Galaxy S21.It is true that portable flash memory with Lightning or USB-C connector is available on the market, but probably no one can imagine using a smartphone to which a pendrive is still connected.
