If you have an iPhone 5s or above, you can upgrade to iOS 11. One of the more useful new features can be found under Settings > General > iPhone Storage. From here you will find storage tips specific to your device. Although this may not be the most exciting of new features, it can help you manage your storage more effectively.
If you have an old iPhone full of clutter, or are planning on getting a new iPhone and transferring your old data across, this feature could save you a lot of space. Even better, you can delete recommended files directly from this section.
You may see the Review Large Attachments category. This contains photos, videos and attachments which are often stored in messages. If you don’t need some or all of them, tap Edit, mark those you don’t want to keep, and tap the delete icon to free up more space on your device.
