How to Free Up Space On Your iPhone

When you get a new iPhone, you almost never think about how much space you’re using. Go ahead and pile up those movies, music and apps. Never delete text messages, save every photo!

pile up 把..堆起来，这里指

But as time goes by, all that content starts to add up. Next thing you know, you’ll be ready to snap a photo of grandma blowing out her birthday candles, and you get the dreaded popup: you’re out of space.

Thankfully, it’s easy to free up space on your iPhone.

First thing’s first: to see what’s taking up space on your iPhone, open up the Settings app. Once in Settings, hit General. From there, you’ll want to select Storage or Storage & iCloud Usage. You’ll see a graph breaking down your device’s storage usage into a few different categories: media, apps, photos, books, messages, and other. Each of the storage categories is assigned a color, so you’ll be able to conceptualize at-a-glance what’s taking up the most space on your phone.

Ready to make some space on your iPhone? Here are three ways to do just that.

Follow Apple’s recommendations

If it’s time to clear out space on your iPhone but you don’t even know where to start, why not ask the phone itself for some ideas?

Under that storage graph in the Storage & iCloud Usage section, your iPhone should show a section of Recommendations. Hit Show All to open them up. Your iPhone will suggest steps like Reviewing iTunes Videos — you can click on this recommendation to see all the iTunes videos you’ve downloaded and select from the list which to keep and which to delete, for example.

Other recommendations are easy to switch on by simply clicking Enable on the right.

Offload unused apps

Under Recommendations, your iPhone also provides an option to Offload Unused Apps. Hitting Enable will allow the device to “offload” applications when you need storage. This option will remove certain apps from your device, but keep their underlying data. That way, if you need to use the app again, you can just re-download it and be off and running like you never deleted it at all.

Certain 确定的，某些

you can manually offload apps, delete apps, or delete app data manually, too. In the Storage page, you’ll see a list of your installed apps below the recommendations. By clicking on the app in the list, you’ll open an expanded view. There are three options available from there: Offload the app, Delete the app, and others for deleting documents and data.

Use iCloud for storage

Sign in with your Apple ID to automatically turn on iCloud on your iPhone. To access your iCloud settings, navigate to Settings, hit your user ID, then tap iCloud. From there, you’re able to see the storage available for you on iCloud, with a bar graph similar to the one from your device’s Storage page. In the section titled Apps using iCloud, you can flip a switch to choose which categories of apps — Calendars, Contacts, Mail, Photos, etc. — automatically upload their data to iCloud.

Access 通道，路径，访问，到达

访问你的icloud设置

All iPhone users automatically get 5GB of storage for free. If that’s not enough storage for you, you can pay for extra storage, starting at $0.99 for 50GB.

如何释放iPhone上的空间

当你买了一部新iPhone手机时，你几乎不会去想你用了多少的空间。你不停的往手机里堆各种电影，音乐和应用程序。永远不删除短信，并且保存每张照片！

但随着时间的推移，所有内容都开始增多起来。然后你会发现，当你准备好拍一张*奶奶你**吹掉生日蜡烛的照片，你会看到可怕的弹窗：你已经没有空间了。

值得庆幸的是，在iPhone上释放空间很容易。

首先要做的事情是：要查看是什么在你的iPhone里占用空间，请打开“设置”应用。进入设置后，点击通用。在那里，选择存储或存储和iCloud Usage。您会看到一个图表，将您设备的存储空间分解为几个不同的类别：媒体，应用，照片，书籍，消息等。每个存储类别都分配了一种颜色，因此您可以概览一下占用手机上最大空间的内容。

准备在iPhone上腾出一些空间了吗？这有三种方法可以做到这一点。

按照Apple的建议

如果是时候清理iPhone上的空间但你甚至不知道从哪里开始，为什么不向手机本身询问一些想法呢？

在储存＆iCloud Usage部分的存储图下，您的iPhone应该会显示部分建议。点击全部显示打开它们。您的iPhone将建议诸如查看iTunes视频之类的步骤 - 您可以单击此建议以查看您已*载下**的所有iTunes视频，并从列表中选择要保留的内容和要删除的内容。

只需单击右侧的“启用”，即可轻松打开其他建议。

卸载未使用的应用

在推荐下，您的iPhone还提供了卸载未使用的应用程序的选项。点击启用将允许设备在您需要存储时“卸载”应用程序。此选项将从您的设备中删除某些应用，但保留其基础数据。这样，如果您需要再次使用该应用程序，您可以重新*载下**它，就像您从未删除它一样。

您也可以手动卸载应用，删除应用或删除应用数据。在存储页面中，您将在推荐下方看到已安装应用的列表。通过点击列表中的应用程序，您将打开展开页面。有三个选项可供选择：卸载应用程序，删除应用程序以及其他用于删除文档和数据的选项。

使用iCloud进行存储

更正--8月8日

这个故事的原始版本错误地说明了从手机中删除信息时，同步储存在icloud中的存储信息会发生什么。（正确结论是）当您删除手机上的信息时，它也会从iCloud中删除。
