Storage

If your iCloud backup failed, there are several reasons why it might have happened. Let's get started troubleshooting why your iPhone won't back up to the cloud. Here are the first steps to take:

It is possible to delete an Apple ID; but first, you need to decide if that course of action is really necessary. Deactivating an Apple ID means that you'll lose access to the connected iCloud Mail and Drive Storage, as well as any iMessages associated with that account. All the purchases you made with the Apple ID you're deleting, including content from iTunes and iBooks as well as the App Store, not to mention your Apple Music Library and Playlists will also be gone. Let's go through some less extreme options for solving problems with your Apple ID, then learn how to deactivate and delete an Apple ID if you conclude that's the step you need to take.

I think we can all agree that storage space is a valuable commodity on the iPhone. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to take a photo and having your iPhone tell you to create more storage space. But with iOS 11, your iPhone will give you suggestions on how to save storage and you’ll have the option to ‘offload’ apps you don’t often use but want to keep. We’ll go over what that means and how to do it. This tip will allow you to easily free up storage and get an overall picture of what is taking up your storage on your iPhone anyway. Here’s how to optimize iPhone storage and free up space with iOS 11 on iPhone.

Deleting or uninstalling apps on iPad can be done the same way as on iPhone. Most people are familiar with deleting apps by tapping and holding an app until they all start wiggling. You can delete apps on iPad using this method, which I’ll go over step-by-step below. But the fast way, that’s perfect for someone who needs to delete multiple apps, is to delete apps on iPad from your settings. This will allow you to remove apps more quickly since you’ll simply tap on an app and select Delete app. Don’t worry though, I’ll go over all the methods in detail below.

To listen to Apple Music offline, you need to download the songs you would like to make available for offline listening. Apple Music allows you to add lots of songs to your library without having them take up space on your device, but if you want to listen to those songs offline (or without using your data plan) you should download the songs you want to listen to offline. Luckily, it’s easy to make an album or song available offline in Apple Music. Here’s how.

Need to free up space on your iPhone, but having a hard time parting with absolutely anything it contains? I don’t know about you, but I’m that person with a 64 GB iPhone that has 35 GB of music—in other words, way more than I could ever listen to. That storage could be put to better use; and now with iOS 10, it can be, without any of my Apple Music disappearing. Optimizing your iPhone music storage in iOS 10 is pretty easy to do and completely automatic. Optimizing storage on iPhone means selecting a minimum amount of storage your music can take up and allowing your iPhone to remove the downloads of all that extra music you rarely listen to. Here’s how to optimize your iPhone music storage.

An unusual trick for clearing storage on iPhone has been popping up around the web recently. You can do it right from your phone in a minute without deleting any photos, music, or other data.

I managed to get an extra 1.3 GB of space in a matter of minutes; here’s the weird trick for clearing storage on iPhone that actually works.
