You will probably see two, as well as an option to Show All so you can see more recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why we didn\u2019t start with this is that, although a great way to manage storage in the future, it\u2019s not the quickest way to recover a bit of storage in a hurry. However, it will stand you in good stead if you take Apple\u2019s advice and put the various storage management suggestions into play. <\/p>\n<p>One option you will see here (if you haven\u2019t already set it up) is to use <strong>iCloud Photo Library<\/strong>. This will store your photos and videos in the cloud. iCloud Photo Library is a great solution if you want to have access to all your photos on all your devices, just make sure that Apple stores optimized versions of the photos on your device, rather than full res versions.<\/p>\n<p>Another option is to <strong>Auto Delete Old Conversations<\/strong> from the Messages app. We haven\u2019t done this primarily because we don\u2019t want to lose access to old messages from people long gone, but it\u2019s a great way to reduce the amount of storage given to messages. Because of the images and videos stored in Messages, this can often free up several gigabytes.<\/p>\n<p>In a similar vein, the <strong>Review Large Attachments<\/strong> allows you to delete photos, videos and other media shared in attachments. So if you have a habit of sharing images via Messages expect to find lots of photos or videos here which you can delete if you know you have them in your Photos app.<\/p>\n<p>You could also choose to <strong>Review Downloaded Videos<\/strong>. If it\u2019s an option for you tap on the arrow beside it and delete any downloads you see here that you don\u2019t need to keep. Tap Edit &gt; Tap the red circle beside the program you want to delete &gt; Tap Delete.<\/p>\n<p>You may also see the to <strong>Offload Unused Apps<\/strong>. Here Apple volunteers to automatically offload apps that are rarely used when you start to run out of storage. \u2018Offloading\u2019 deletes the app itself, which is easy to replace by redownloading. But it keeps the documents and data, which are likely to be irreplaceable. You can also find the option to Offload Unused Apps under Settings &gt; App Store. Make sure that Automatic app downloads is not selected here, so that apps don\u2019e automatically download when you add them to other devices.<\/p>\n<p>iOS will tell you how much storage you stand to gain from enabling these suggestions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re in Settings &gt; General &gt; iPhone Storage, you\u2019ll see some recommendations for optimizing your storage.
