How do I free up storage on my phone?
Delete unused apps, clear cached data and move photos and videos to the cloud or a computer.
Phones fill up with photos, videos, apps and cached files. Check which categories use the most space and start there.
Look in your storage settings for a breakdown.
Photos and videos
These are usually the biggest items. Back them up to cloud storage or a computer, then delete them from the phone.
Apps and data
Remove apps you no longer use, and clear cache or downloaded content in apps like streaming and social media.
Messaging apps
Chat apps save photos and videos automatically. Review and delete large media files, and change auto-download settings.
