What does iPhone storage look like?
Although the current iPhone is starting from 128G memory, but the app of hundreds of megabytes will become a special memory after downloading it for a period of time, which is especially represented by the "Glory of the King", the small and beautiful "WeChat" App, plus apple Music, QQ music, vibrato These App software caches, as well as their own photo and video resources, basically for a period of time, 128G Memory becomes stretched.
If you want to know how much current iPhone storage (other capacity) is taking up, you can check it by selecting General > iPhone Storage in iOS Settings.
From this page, you can see the overall memory usage of iPhone, the disk size occupied by each installed app, and after clicking the app, you can also see the size of the current app and the size of the document data.
Cleanup of system storage resources
1. Do not store SMS permanently
Path: Set-> SMS-> retention information
Now we use SMS in addition to the verification code, basically left with a variety of promotional information and bank notifications, so the SMS in the mobile phone is recommended not to set permanent retention, but it should be noted that for example, some voucher information, or carefully screened, saved separately, in case of loss.
2. Clean up photos and camera resources
First, regularly delete all kinds of useless photos, mobile phone screenshots and videos shared by Douyin, which are short-term things, and forgetting to delete them over time will definitely occupy a lot of memory space on our mobile phones.
The second point is to store the full image in the cloud to reduce the memory consumption of the mobile phone
Path: Settings-> Photos-> settings optimize iPhone storage
Third, reduce the resolution at which the video is shot
Path: Set - > Camera - > set the resolution and frame rate
Videos that are too large will take up a lot of our memory space, but in fact, most of the time we don't need to shoot such high-resolution videos.
3. Delete the browser cache
Path: Settings - > Photos - > clear history and website data
It should be noted that the small partners who usually use Apple's native Safari browser can delete the browser cache through this method, if you are using a third-party browser such as Quark, you still need to go to your respective app to find a way to clean the cache.
4. Voice memo settings
Path: Settings - > Voice Memos - > Voice Memos settings
Similarly, it is also possible to reduce the use of phone memory by setting specific items for voice memos. For example, the time to clear deleted items and set the recorded audio quality.
5. "Enable" to uninstall unused apps
Path: Settings - > App Store - > uninstall unused apps
After this setting, the system will judge the use of the App, if it has not been used, the App will be uninstalled to save the storage space of the iPhone, but although the App is uninstalled, the data in the App is still retained, and the App can still be used normally after reinstallation.

App-owned resource cleanup
First of all, we must analyze clearly what are the reasons why apps occupy resources.
For example, WeChat is mainly composed of chat information, Mijia this kind of App is a lot of components of resources, music streaming and vibrato this app are composed of audio and video cache, Taobao most of them are because of the cache of picture resources, clipping this kind of editing App occupation is basically the occupation of material resources, so when processing to be extra careful, because it is likely to lose video editing data. There are also some apps that are special, because they rely on iCloud for storage and backup, so basically all the data will be saved intact in the app locally, so the resources of this kind of app are basically impossible to clean.
So for the previous few, our cleaning methods are mainly divided into the following:
1, the App to find a functional entrance to clean the resource cache, clean up, but in fact you will find that you can only clean up a small part, and even sometimes can only clean up dozens of M size space, so it is not very recommended. In addition, some apps will also clean up the built-in cookie information at this time, and after that, the good multi-function may have to be re-authorized, etc. This needs to be cleaned up when you need to pay attention to the cleaning option.
2, completely uninstall the App after re-downloading and installing, because sometimes the resource cache is meaningless for us, in most cases it belongs to the mechanism stored in the process of unintentional departure in the process of using the App, so in order to completely clean up the resource occupation, uninstalling is a relatively fast solution. However, as mentioned above, you need to pay special attention to the fact that clip apps cannot be deleted so rudely, because most of the space they occupy is the material resources of video clips, and if they are deleted, the drafts of clips and resources will also be lost.
How to sustainably keep your iPhone space left
Although some of the above steps can reduce the remaining space of the iPhone in the short term, if you still use the app according to the previous usage method, the space will still decrease rapidly over time. So there is still a need to use other methods to sustainably not to make the app's footprint larger.
1. Make good use of Mini Programs
Whether it is a WeChat Mini Program, An Alipay Mini Program or a Baidu Mini Program, it is actually a simplified version of a number of very commonly used Apps, such as the express delivery App that we do not commonly use, in fact, it may take many days to go back to use once, we may wish to use the Mini Program to solve, although the Mini Program will lose some functions, but I believe that most of the functions we usually use, such as shipping or querying logistics information, these functions will not be missing. But unfortunately, WeChat Mini Program does not support the installation of desktop shortcuts on iPhone, which is a certain regret.
For example, Ali or Baidu app, will also have the corresponding function entrance in Alipay, Taobao and Baidu App, through these small programs can add the advantages of desktop mode, in fact, in the use of not more than the complete native App has too much lack of function, the biggest unhappiness is the lack of function.
2. Use the web version
Although some websites have App blessings, but in fact, the inside is still a rendered web page, but the outside is simply a layer of App shell, although there is an upgrade in the function, but if you are only used to browse information, you may wish to try to use the Web page version to browse, plus after installing desktop shortcuts, it will not be particularly different from the native App
At last
The above is my experience of using a small capacity iPhone to save storage space, I hope you will get used to it. However, always saving is not the best solution, or to purchase a mobile phone reasonably according to their own usage habits when purchasing, so as to save time and energy for themselves.
