Although modern smartphones iPhone and iPad tablets have large volume permanent memory, sooner or later, but most of their owners face a shortage free space on the device. It’s especially frustrating when you need to download or save something very important on your phone and then, as luck would have it, the iPhone writes “There’s almost no space.”
What to do in this case? The answer is simple - remove unnecessary things. Many users recklessly throw themselves into the deep end, deleting everything. Often this ends in failure because they can fall under the hot hand system files or just something important to you.
In this article I want to tell you how to free up memory on your iPhone without the risk of deleting something you need or even damaging the operating system on your iPhone and iPad.
1. Total cleaning of the Safari browser
The very first thing to start liberation with iPhone memory is a web browser. In some cases, it inflates like a balloon.
Let's start by clearing the Safari cache, cookies and deleting temporary files. To do this, go to settings mobile gadget and find the section Safari:
Once inside, we find the point Clear history and website data.
After that, go to the “Advanced” section>>”Site data:
Click on the “Delete all data” button in order to delete all saved information about sites and thereby, at least a little, free up memory on the iPhone.
Don’t forget about the separate “Offline List” function, which is used for lazy reading of pages in Safari and thereby also takes up space in the ROM. Moreover, sometimes the volume occupied for this can reach a gigabyte or even more.
In order to clear it, go to the “Settings”>> “General”>>”Statistics”>>”Storage”>>”Safari” section. Here you need to tap on the “Delete” button to completely delete the entire offline list. Please note that clearing the cache will not remove objects from the reading list.
2. Finding unnecessary applications
For those who enjoy various games on a mobile phone or tablet, their memory is often filled with old games that have not been used for a long time, and they forgot to delete them. To fix this and clear up free space on your iPhone and iPad, open “Settings” >> “General” >> “Statistics” >> “Storage”:
Here you will see a list of applications sorted by memory usage. We select those that are not needed or used by you and delete them:
Also, as an option, you can try to completely reinstall the “heavy” applications that you use. The fact is that in order to rollback in case of failure, they can, in parallel with current version the previous ones will also be saved, outdated versions, which also take up the disk space you need. Reinstalling will simply remove everything unnecessary. After this, your iPhone will most likely no longer write “There is almost no space.”
3. Proper iCloud setup
In the operating system, everything is closely tied to branded service from Apple, which is called iCloud. There is cloud storage, streaming audio and video content, and backup information and much, much more. Its correct configuration and use will free up memory on your iPhone for the necessary data. So, what needs to be done?!
— Turn on iCloud Media Library. The meaning of work of this service gives users the opportunity to synchronize all their multimedia content with cloud storage Apple. By turning it on, you can upload all your photos and videos to the cloud in full, deleting them from your iPhone or iPad. This is done in the “Settings” >> “iCloud” >> “Photos” section:
Move the slider " iCloud Photo Library" to "On" and uncheck the "Save originals" checkbox.
By the way, after this it is better to listen to music in streaming mode via ICloud, and do not store the tracks themselves on the phone but simply delete them. The iPhone can accept podcasts of content downloaded to iTunes. Also, I would recommend connecting to some kind of streaming service. The Yandex.Music service is very good in this sense.
— Disable Photo Stream. Apple devices have one very interesting and absolutely unnecessary feature for most users, which is called “Photo Stream”. This album is created by the ICloud service. All photos from the Camera Roll album are automatically copied into it. This is done in order to automatically upload new photos to the cloud so that they are available on other iPhones and iPads connected to this account.
Do you need this? Most users don’t even know about this function, while it actively eats up space in the gadget’s ROM. To disable Photo Stream— in the “Settings”>>”iCloud”>>”Photos” section, move the corresponding switch to the “Off” position.
4. Operating system update
Don't forget to update your iOS operating system to the latest and most current version.
The fact is that updates, as a rule, fix old bugs and flaws. Including those related to the use of permanent memory of a smartphone. In addition, in latest versions developers have significantly improved iOS performance and stability on iPhone 4, 5 and 5S. Check Availability and Availability new version OS can be found in the “Settings”>>”General”>>”Software Updates” section.
5. Clean iPhone memory using third-party utilities
To be honest, the AppStore is now full of programs offering to optimize the iPhone, allowing it to speed up its operation and clear the device’s memory. More than half of them do not bring any positive effect. On my own behalf, I can recommend a couple of successful programs.
First - application PhoneExpander.
It can perfectly clean traces of programs by deleting their temporary files on iPhone, iPad and even on a media player iPod touch. In addition, the utility can remove unnecessary applications, video and music.
Very often many iPhone owners take screenshots. Although these pictures are small in size (on average 200-300 KB), they accumulate a lot and the volume they occupy in memory increases greatly. You can, of course, climb through the storage on your own and look for all such pictures. But there is more quick way clear the memory on your iPhone from such unnecessary images - use the utility Screeny.
It is specially designed to search and delete screenshots on Apple devices. It will scan all the pictures on the device and give the predicted size free space. If you are satisfied with everything, click on the “Delete” button and see the result!
Young users mobile technology sometimes I can’t imagine how the owners cell phones Previously, 10-20 MB of internal memory was enough. Rapid technological progress forces us to measure the memory of gadgets in completely different categories - iPhone owners don’t even have time to blink an eye when their 16 built-in gigabytes (!) are full. Android owners rub their palms gloatingly: they are able to expand memory using a flash card, which is not possible with the iPhone.
Fortunately, clear memory Apple devices can be done quickly, without even resorting to deleting data – we’ll tell you about the most effective methods.
Typically, a Phone user begins to think about how to free up the gadget's memory, Not just - it does not have enough free space to update the operating system or download from the AppStore popular app. Let's say, an iOS 8 update weighs from 0.9 to 1.1 GB (depending on the device) - about 7 “free” gigabytes are needed to download a new “OS” via Wi-Fi. Owners of 8 GB gadgets do not have access to any other method of updating except iTunes– but even those who are luckier with memory have to begin a large-scale “cleaning” of the gallery.
Check how much memory is required for iOS updates, you can follow the path " Settings» — « Basic» — « Software Update" If there is “nowhere to update,” the gadget will report that “ Latest software installed", and will clarify which version is on the smartphone. In the presence of available updates you will see the following information on the screen:
note: iPhone 4 is not updated to iOS 8, because it has only one core, and for normal functioning this version requires at least two.Version 7.1.2 is the limit for iPhone 4 . 4S you can update to iOS 8, however, judging by the reviews, it is better not to do this - the gadget begins to freeze.
Knowing how much memory is required for the update, you can calculate how many gigabytes are missing. To find out which apps you remove will give you maximum effect, follow the path " Settings» — « Basic» — « Statistics" You will be taken to " Storage»:
The example shows that more than half of the occupied memory (and a little less than a third of the total) is devoted to music - a user who wants to “update” should start with parsing the playlist.
How to clean your iPhone of junk: 7 effective ways
Deleting music and photos is an effective, but still the most banal way to clear your memory. There are others:
Clear Safari browser history
Deleting your browsing history and “cleaning” cookies are operations with which you should start “cleaning” your iPhone. To clean your browser, follow the instructions:
Step 1. Follow the path " Settings» — « Safari" and look for the items " Clear the history" And " Delete cookies and data».
Step 2. Click " Clear the history» and confirm the operation.
Step 3. Click " Delete cookies and data" and also confirm. Let us clarify that cookie- This text files, making the use of the browser more convenient and personalized. It is thanks to cookies that we, for example, have access to auto-filling of logins and passwords. However, for the sake of correct operation gadget cookies You can also donate.
Step 4. In submenu Safari go to " Add-ons", then - in " Site data" If the data is null (as in the image below), you can be sure that the browser is cleared.
The more active iPhone user“surfing” the Internet, the more memory you can free up by simply clearing your browser.
Listed operations on performance Safari will not be reflected in any way.
Deactivating Photo Stream
Meaning " Photostream"is as follows: when activated, all photos taken on the user's iPhone are sent to iCloud over Wi-Fi - therefore, the user's friends can view and comment on his pictures without social networks And MMS messages(of course, only with the permission of the account owner). The technology is quite useful, however, many owners of Apple gadgets are not even aware of its existence - at the same time, the program “eats” megabytes of memory.
You can disable it like this:
Step 1. Follow the path " Settings» — « iCloud» — « Photo».
Step 2. Deactivate the toggle switch opposite " My photo stream».
Deleting messages
It's hard to believe, but text messages can take up several gigabytes of memory. When "cleaning" Special attention it’s worth paying attention to correspondence iMessage such messages are free, so they often contain not only text, but also music, video, and other media content. iOS 8 version allows you to configure automatic removal messages- do it like this:
Step 1. Follow the path " Settings» — « Messages" and in the block " Message history" Press " Leave messages».
Step 2. Select the most suitable SMS storage period. There are only three options: month, year and indefinite storage.
The default is always " Indefinitely" Change to " 1 year“—you definitely won’t notice the difference.
There is no need to worry about the safety of important or dear messages: they can always be restored from backup copies in iTunes.
Disabling auto-updates for podcasts
With the release of iOS 8, an application for listening to podcasts also became part of iPhone systems, which means also started to take up memory. Users very rarely return to listening to old podcasts, however, they sometimes don’t even think about deleting them. But in vain - one podcast weighs on average 25 MB, and on an iPhone there can be hundreds of them!
Disable auto-update and downloading of podcasts like this:
Step 1. Go to " Settings" and find the subsection " Podcasts».
Step 2. In this subsection in the block “ Podcast default settings» turn off « Downloading issues" and activate the slider opposite " Delete playback.».
"Cleaning" the cache
Even if the application itself is lightweight, it can accumulate an impressive amount of data over the entire period of use. How to clarify the statistics was discussed at the beginning of the article - you can check the cache in the same way: in “ Storage» Click on the application you are interested in.
Using the example application " In contact with"we see that the program itself weighs only 23 MB, and another 18 MB are occupied various documents and data.
There are three ways to clean your iPhone from such “garbage”:
Method No. 1. Uninstall the application and install it again.
Method No. 2. Do full reset– go “ Settings» — « Basic» — « Reset" and press " Erase content and settings."
Using this method, you will not only remove the “garbage” accumulated by applications, but also lose all media content, so before you start resetting, take the trouble to do backup copy data.
Method No. 3. Clear the cache in the settings of the program itself. Not all applications provide this opportunity, but, for example, Tweetbot, whose temporary files take up a lot of space, leaves the user no other choice - clearing the cache of this program can only be done through the " Reset Account Cash" in settings.
Using special applications
In the AppStore you can download a wonderful utility called Battery Doctor. The main function of this program is to care for the smartphone battery, however, and free up memory from unnecessary trash she can do it no problem. Launch the program and in the “ Junk" (garbage) press " Clean Up Cache»:
This will run the test, which will take a few minutes:
Battery Doctor will automatically find temporary files and clear disk space. At the end of the work, the program will inform you that there are no more “junk” files and recommend checking it as often as possible.
Battery Doctor is not the only program of this kind; if this software does not suit you for some reason, try using the Chinese utility Tongbu or desktop Phone app Clean.
Smartphone restaurant
You can also check the amount of “garbage” on your iPhone using iTunes - go to the device section and pay attention to the scale below:
Hover over " Other"(yellow part) - this is data in the cache, unfinished downloads, saved browser pages.
The example shows that “junk” files take up 554 MB of 8 total GB- a very impressive share; the same space could be occupied by 5 music albums of your favorite artists.
This method of cleaning the system does not pose a threat to notes, calendars, SMS messages that were stored on the device, but multimedia files will be deleted.
Conclusion
The measures listed in the article should be applied to permanent basis, and not just once - it is especially important to know how to clear the cache on iPhone and browser history Safari. At the same time, the owners Apple technology must remember that The procedures and instructions described will not help if the user himself tends to mindlessly install everything from the AppStore and upload it to “ Music» albums that will never be listened to.
Sometimes a situation arises when you urgently need to check the memory on your iPhone, but you don’t know how to do it. For example, you need to upload a large amount of information (photos), but you don’t know whether it will fit on your iPhone. Initially, the smartphone had one memory size, but later you set different applications, downloaded documents from the mail, took photographs, of course, while the iPhone’s memory was loaded. And the question is always interesting: how much free memory left?
It also happens that when selling an iPhone, you are assured that this model has one memory size, but after the purchase it turns out that it is smaller. You could check this yourself when purchasing, if you could quickly navigate and find necessary information. By the way, on iPad information gigabytes of memory are indicated directly on the case. In this article we will tell you how to view the memory on an iPhone 5S in several ways.
One of the fastest and most reliable ways is to find out the amount of available free memory on your iPhone in the device settings. To do this, click on the “Settings” icon on the main menu of the screen and select the “Basic” section. Next, we find the “About this device” option, opening which we go to the “Capacity” subsection. In this subsection you can read how many gigabytes of memory there are on your iPhone, how many are occupied by programs, and how much space remains free. 
In this case, the total number of gigabytes of factory memory will be indicated a little less, do not be alarmed, this is how the remainder is usually shown after conversion and part of the memory is occupied by the iOS system. It is useful to remember that 1 GB is 1024 MB.
Checking storage capacity via iTunes
If you have connected your iPhone to your computer and are working, it is not very convenient to disconnect it to check the remaining free memory. If iTunes is installed on your computer, then doing this is quite simple and quick. We activate the iTunes program and in the window that opens, information about the connected iPhone will immediately appear, indicating all its characteristics, including the amount of built-in and free reminiscence.
Checking memory capacity using iPhone 5S serial number
You can find out all the characteristics of an iPhone’s memory even if it is completely turned off or in an inoperative state. Do you know that every iPhone or any other device has serial number. The easiest way to find out is to pull out the SIM card tray, where the serial number is stamped on it. Just enter this number into search bar browser on the Internet and you will receive full information about iPhone device 5S. By the way, this type of search has certain advantages: you can find out not only the volume of reminiscence, but also where and when the device was sold.
How to Estimate Memory Using iOS
When iPhone 5S storage capacity decreases, the iOS system is optimizing its volume. To expand storage for updates, the iOS operating system can delete unnecessary programs or files as well as cache. In this case, the program selects for deletion those files that have copies or can be re-downloaded.
To check the amount of memory via iOS, you need to go to the iPhone Settings and go to the “Storage and iCloud” section, and then select the “Manage Storage” function. You will see a list of programs and a numerical expression of the volume they occupy.
To obtain Additional information, select if necessary, select and delete some files or the entire program. If a message appears that “there is no more space,” then delete some of the files from the iPhone’s brain.
Deleting the Cache
A separate type of files are cached files created when watching videos or photos, or when streaming music. These files also take extra memory on iPhone. Their goal is to provide fast access to already viewed files. In the "Other" category in iTunes program you will find many cached files. Therefore, if iOS program looking for extra bed, then to increase storage it primarily deletes cached and temporary file data.
In progress using iPhone inevitably accumulate in his memory various files. As a result, sooner or later, a moment comes when the memory runs out and the user can no longer save or record anything. In such a situation, it becomes quite logical question, how to free up memory on your iPhone so you can continue to use your smartphone.
In this article, we will provide three of the most effective ways to free up memory. They will be relevant for everyone modern models iPhone, including iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 5c, 6, 6s and 7.
Method number 1. Removal is not required applications.
The simplest and effective way Freeing up memory on your iPhone means deleting unnecessary applications. In principle, you can delete applications from the desktop, but in this case you will not know how much memory can be freed up by deleting a particular application. Therefore, it is best to open your iPhone settings and go to the “General – Storage and iCloud Usage” section.
Here you will see information about the occupied memory in the internal storage of the iPhone and in iCloud service. In order to free up memory on your iPhone, you need to go to “Manage” internal storage.
After this, you will see a list of all applications installed on your iPhone. At the same time, to the right of each application it will be indicated how much memory space it takes up. For example, in the screenshot below you can see that the Angry Birds 2 application takes up more than 400 megabytes of memory. If this application you don't need it, then you can delete it and free up those megabytes. To do this, simply click on the application.
After this, you will see a page with information about the selected application. To remove this application, simply click on the “Uninstall a program” button.
After deleting the application, the memory that it occupied will be freed up, and you can use it for other needs.
Method number 2. Clearing the cache.
One more is enough effective method Freeing up used memory on an iPhone is clearing the cache. Many applications cache data they download from the Internet. Because of this, over time, iPhone memory accumulates a large number of unnecessary data.
You can clear the application cache through its settings. For example, consider such a popular application as VKontakte. If you run this application and go to its settings, there will be a “Delete cache” button. In my case, clearing the cache in the VKontakte application freed up almost 500 megabytes of memory.
It is also possible to clear the cache in many other applications that work with the Internet. For example, you can clear the cache in Safari browser. To do this, you need to go to the iPhone settings, go to the “Safari” section and click on the “Clear history and website data” button.
If the application does not have a special function for clearing the cache, or if the cache is not completely deleted, then you can uninstall the application and then reinstall it. In this case, all cache files of the application will be deleted, and you will free up the memory that they previously occupied.
Method number 3. PhoneClean program.
If you have done all of the above, but you still haven’t managed to free up enough memory in your iPhone storage, then you can resort to using the PhoneClean program. This program designed to clear iPhone memory. PhoneClean is available in free and paid version, you can install it on your Windows computer or Mac. You can download PhoneClean.
Using PhoneClean is quite simple. Launch it on your computer, and then connect your iPhone to your computer. Next you need to go to the “Quick Clean” tab and click on the “Scan” button.
After scanning, PhoneClean will offer to delete the temporary files found. Click on the “Clean” button to confirm the removal of these files. In our case, using this program to free up 70 megabytes of memory.
If PhoneClean cannot detect your iPhone, then you probably have some connection or driver problems. Try reconnecting your iPhone and launching iTunes, then return to the PhoneClean program. Perhaps this will solve connection problems.
