> Optimize iOS device storage
Explore recent usage
Although you can’t reorder apps in the Settings storage overview by date, you can see when each was last used. If that date’s a while ago — or “Never Used” — remove the app.
Create date folders
If you like to try new apps and games, consider storing them in folders by the date you downloaded them. If you haven’t used one after a while, you can easily delete it.
Offload videos
Videos shot on your iOS device can take up loads of room. If you don’t use iCloud Photo Library, get into the habit of connecting your device to your Mac, and save videos there. This safeguards them and frees up space.
Check social media apps
Apps such as Facebook and Twitter tend to cache content locally, to speed up browsing. You can often free up hundreds of megabytes by deleting and reinstalling such apps, or disabling local storage if they offer.
Stream your podcasts
If you’re a podcast fiend and have loads of subscriptions, your app of choice might be storing gigabytes of shows on your device. Switch to streaming where possible, to save on space and reduce clutter.
Trash unwanted iOS updates
Your device will automatically download iOS updates. You can delete any unwanted updates in Settings > General > Storage, although why not back up your device and install them?
