You will no longer have to delete photos: the iPhone trick you must know

In an age where our smartphone contains our entire world – photos, videos, messages and apps – proper storage space management has become a necessity, especially for the upcoming iOS 18.2 update. The new update, which requires no less than 7 gigabytes for devices that support Apple Intelligence, poses a significant challenge to many iPhone users.

Why is it important now?

The new iOS 18.2 update brings with it increased storage requirements – almost double the previous iOS 18.1 update. Especially for iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 owners who wish to use the Apple Intelligence features, will be required to allocate an additional 7GB regularly, even if they choose to disable the artificial intelligence features later.

How do you make room?

According to a report published in the “Wall Street Journal”, here is the complete guide to freeing up space on your iPhone:

1. 1. Check the storage status:
      Go to Settings > General > Device Storage. Here you can see a detailed graph showing exactly what is taking up space on your device.

1. 1. This is the storage “gluttons”:
      The system will show recommendations for cleaning large files, such as attachments in messages. Pay special attention to apps like WhatsApp, which may take up a significant amount of space.

1. 1. Handle the application cache:
      Apps like Instagram save information in a cache to improve performance. If an app is taking up too much space, consider deleting and reinstalling it.

Professional tip

Check the apps themselves – for example, WhatsApp offers a built-in tool to delete large files or entire chats. Using these tools can save a lot of space.

By implementing these steps, you can properly prepare for the new update and keep your device organized and efficient. Remember that proper storage management not only improves device performance, but also ensures that you always have room for the really important content.
