Now that you’ve perfected your Home Screen, it’s time to clean behind the scenes. In the past, you may have deleted apps from your Home Screen and now you’ve lost track. Maybe you have an absurd amount of photos or downloaded videos taking up a lot of storage and making your iPhone run slower than it needs to. Or maybe you keep ignoring the software updates, which puts your phone at a security risk. If any of those things sound relatable, this next section is all about how to make sure even the stuff occurring in the background of your iPhone is kept in check.
CHECK YOUR STORAGE
Every year the iPhone’s storage capacity grows larger and larger. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways we can control what gets downloaded onto our devices and ensure it doesn’t get out of hand. When it comes to your iPhone’s storage, you will find that most of it is taken up with apps. This is why that earlier process of combing through your Home Screen is such an important first step in organizing your iPhone. But there may be other things taking up a lot of space on your device, specifically media like photos, videos, and downloaded music. The best place to start when it comes to figuring out how to increase your storage is to learn how to access your iPhone Storage via Settings. Once you’ve looked over this helpful graph, you may end up deleting or offloading apps you previously wanted to keep. That being said, don’t delete Spotify from your iPhone just because it is the app that is taking up the most storage, especially if you love Spotify and use it all the time. Remember, the point of the iPhone is to connect us to technology so we can use it the way we like!
