My iPhone Storage Is Full

Free up space without deleting anything you actually care about.

You'll need

  • Your iPhone
  • A few minutes of patience
  1. 1

    Open Settings

    Tap the grey gear-shaped Settings icon on your home screen.

  2. 2

    Go to General, then iPhone Storage

    This shows you exactly what's taking up space, biggest first.

  3. 3

    Review your largest apps

    Photos, videos, and messages are usually the biggest culprits, not apps themselves.

  4. 4

    Offload apps you don't use

    "Offload" removes the app but keeps your data — a safer first step than deleting it outright.

  5. 5

    Still full?

    We're happy to help sort through what's safe to remove — just give us a call.
