What's the best way to clear some storage on my iPhone. Seems like I get a pop up daily saying my storage is full.

I've already weeded out a bunch of pictures and don't have any music on my phone

Settings>General>usage>storage

Scroll down and it will tell you how much storage each individual app is using. That way you can find what is hogging storage.

Make sure you are looking at local storage and not iCloud storage.

Another thing that I do is reset my phone periodically. A ton of my memory gets used by the "Other" section. So I sync my phone, reset the phone, and then just restore my phone. It gets rid of the "Other" section (at least for a time) and usually frees up around a third of my total storage.

Not sure, I have a 64g 5s with over 30g in music on it and I still have about 20g left. No idea how to use up a ton of storage on an iPhone without music unless you have a few HD movies.

Apps especially games are getting really big. It's easy to fill up a phone with no music or movies. I have probably a dozen apps that are over a gb. Some are over 2gb. Tons of others that are a couple hundred mb each.

Yeah, videos are the fastest way to fill it up, especially ones recorded on the iphone. A 5-minute video is about a gig. App hoarders can reach capacity pretty quickly. I always get the 16GB phone so I'm pretty good about managing storage. Always 5 or 6 gigs of head room. There are only a handful of apps I use at a time, and on the rare times I care to listen to music, I just use pandora.

Google Drive app. Add 15GB more space.

Surprisingly, I really like the iTunes Radio after using it down at the beach for a weekend. I would dare to say that I like it much more than Pandora in general. I like the top 50 countdown playlists.

Seems like some apps grow larger and larger over time, like Facebook and vine. Delete them and reinstall and they will go back to normal size.

Try something like Clean Master, CCleaner, etc. on the phone from the app store. It will help you remove a bunch of unnecessary temp files and at least give you some breathing room. Others are right though. Some apps create so much cache it's ridiculous.

Music, videos and pictures take up a lot of space. Depending on how many apps you have, they will do it too. I transfer old photos and videos to my computer to clear out if you don want to delete. I also delete apps I don't ever use.

Deleting old texts is the best way to clear space. Surprising how much it takes up
