Manage Your Storage
As we mentioned before, the more free memory your iPhone has, the faster it’ll run, and that also goes for storage space. If your iPhone’s storage is full, or about to fill up, you might experience slower performance seemingly for no other explicable reason.
The easiest way to fix this is to first understand what’s consuming most of your storage. You can find this out by doing the following:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap on General.
- Go to iPhone Storage.
From here, you’ll know how much storage you have left and where it’s going. You’ll see if apps, files, or other data, like browsing history and cookies, are consuming most of your space.
Once you know this, you can start cleaning up your iPhone. You can start by deleting apps you don’t need anymore. Then, you can go to the Photos app and get rid of any pictures that are either useless or duplicates. Then, you can go to Apple Files and check all the files you’ve stored on your iPhone over time. Delete the ones you don’t need.
