How to slow down a place for an iPhone?

The hipster iPhone 5C was offered in a version with 8 GB of memory

I have prepared a guide thanks to which you will learn how to slow down your place on your iPhone or iPad.After all the steps on your phones, there should be a few free gigabytes of memory.We will start from scratch and we will end up on unusual methods.

Take order in the pictures

The easiest way to save a place is to transfer photos from the iPhone to your computer.Just connect the phone, save photos in the computer's memory, and then remove them from the phone.If you do not want to delete all photos, make the selection of those you have.Delete duplicates and serial photos, which the iPhone often creates itself.

IPhone ripping photos

Much more than photos take movies, especially if you make 4K in resolution.iPhone allows you to conveniently view which video files take up the most space. Wejdźcie w Ustawienia -> Ogólne -> Pamięć (iPhone) -> (poczekajcie chwilę aż się załaduje) -> "Zdjęcia", a następnie "Przejrzyj osobiste pliki wideo".Films sorted by the amount of place occupied here will appear here.

Are you afraid that the iPhone memory will fill up very quickly again?Maybe it is worth reducing the quality of video recorded in the future.Video shot in 1080p resolution in 60 fps take much less memory than those 4K in 60 fps.Almost 3x less!Recordings with a resolution of 1080p or even 720p are enough for "home use".

There is also a kind of "basket" in the iPhone photos that you know from Windows, OSX or Linux.It contains photos and videos deleted in the last 30 days.After this time, they delete automatically.The place for the iPhone is released only after removing them from the previously mentioned basket.Fortunately, you don't have to wait these 30 days to release the place.Go into photos, choose the albums tab, and then "Recently Removed".You can remove the removed pics and movies in this place here.

Use the iCloud library

If you want to keep your favorite photos on your phone, it's worth using the iCloud photo library. Wejdźcie w Ustawienia -> Twoje imię i nazwisko -> iCloud -> Zdjęcia.Then enable the ICloud photo library and select "Optimize the iPhone disk".Thanks to this, the phone will store photos and video in lower quality, and the original files will be kept on Apple servers and available if necessary.

The ICloud photo library in the free version allows you to store 5 GB of data.This is a lot of memory saving, especially in iPhone models with 8 GB.If the option likes, you can increase the amount of icloud photo library memory to 50 GB for PLN 3.99, 200 GB at PLN 11.99 or up to 2 TB for PLN 39.99 (monthly).Prices are quite attractive - 50 GB costs as much as half a beer in a bar, and will definitely relieve the phone's memory allowing you to keep access to data.

Google Drive is also a good idea to save a place

Another idea for maintaining relatively convenient access to photos and video on the iPhone (if you have fast internet), and at the same time saving a large amount of space, there is any internet disk with a convenient application.An example is Google Drive.You can upload up to 15 GB of data for free on Google, and the application allows you to browse quite conveniently (even thanks to compression for faster loading, etc..).

Spotify, Tidal, Deezer take up a lot of space

Music streaming applications like to save data on our phone.On the one hand, it is good, because in this way they limit the consumption of transfer, but on the other they take up a lot of space.In my case, the use of Tidal was over 4 GB of data.Imagine now that you have an iPhone with 8 GB of memory.Tidal alone in this case I would take more than half of the free space.

Tidal took me over 4 GB

Most of the music streaming applications allow you to limit the amount of memory used.It is worth using this option.It is most often found in the settings of the application itself.

Remove unused games and applications

Applications and games take up a lot of space for the iPhone.Games often have very high quality textures and can occupy even a few gigabytes!I do not suggest to remove all of them, but I have a patent for it. Wejdźcie w Ustawienia -> Ogólne -> Pamięć (iPhone) -> (poczekajcie chwilę aż się załaduje).Here you will find a list of games and applications sorted by the amount of memory occupied.

The games take up a lot of space

For me, the decision which of them to remove and which to leave is based on the question "Did I use this game / application in the last month at least once?".If I used it, I leave it, and if not, I remove it.Don't cheat ;-)

How to delete the game so as not to lose their save?

I often have that I haven't played a game for a long time (Plants vs Zombies), but I don't want to delete it because of my progress and good statistics.Then I would have to go from the beginning.Some time ago, the iPhone appeared to delete the game or application without deleting its saved data.This allows us to keep our settings, games from games etc..and remove the application itself.Then, after installing the application, our progress will return.This is very useful.

Aby usunąć aplikację w ten sposób należy wejść w Ustawienia -> Ogólne -> Pamięć (iPhone), a następnie wejść w wybraną aplikację.In this way, we can choose whether we want to keep the application data after it is deleted.Deleting the application in a "standard way" (holding your finger and then clicking on the red cross) will make the application data not be maintained.

Clean Safari and messages

By default, the iPhone stores the full history of SMS and IMessage.If you send the text itself - without multimedia content, then no problem.However, if you like to add voice recordings, photos, videos or stickers, it is worth starting automatic message deletion after some time.We have three options to choose from: keep it forever, delete after a year or delete after 30 days. Aby zdecydować jak długo mają być przechowywanie wiadomości wejdźcie w Ustawienia -> Wiadomości -> Przechowywanie wiadomości.

The iPhone stickers can also take a lot of memory

The next step in increasing the amount of free space is to clean the Safari web browser cache. W tym celu kliknijcie w Ustawiania -> Safari -> Wyczyść Historię oraz Dane Witryn.Cache cleaning can slow down from a few to several hundred megabytes on the iPhone.

We are waiting for your advice!
