Clean the photo library
By checking the storage in the manner described above, you may know by now that the lion’s share of your storage is occupied by some kind of file. Most of the time these are photos and videos. However, to free up space on the iPhone without clearing the entire photo library, the only pictures you can delete are:
- Multiple pictures of the same type
- The same image saved or downloaded more than once
- Pictures of white boards, notes, checks, etc.
- Unnecessary screenshots
- Unnecessary videos of large size
Clear browser cache
Web browsers like Chrome or Safari, however, save the cache and other data of the sites you visit. As a result, a large portion of the phone’s storage becomes full due to the browser’s cache. So Safari and Chrome cache can be cleared to free the iPhone’s storage.
To clear Safari’s cache:
- Enter the Settings app

If your storage is full for extra messages, you can always turn off message saving settings. But first make sure you know if you really want to do it. Because this will delete the old message after a certain time.
