00:06upgrades that come with our handheld devices, but ever so often, users run into the very
00:12common and very frustrating problem, running out of storage.
00:17Thankfully, there are a few known hacks that can save you space when you need it most.
00:23Let your iPhone delete duplicate photos.
00:26HuffPost reports, instead of searching manually for every replicate in your photos app, your
00:32iPhone does the work for you in finding photos and videos that are identical or nearly so,
00:39and placing them in the duplicates folder under the photos setting.
00:44Just check the utilities tab and get to cleaning.
00:49Delete unwanted apps and games.
00:51According to Reader's Digest, unused or unwanted apps and games are among the most likely culprits
00:57responsible for eating up your iPhone's storage.
01:01Take a moment to review your app library and identify those you no longer use or need.
01:07Regularly decluttering and organizing your apps is a good and healthy practice.
01:13And finally, clear browser cache and data.
01:17Your iPhone's browsing history, cache, and cookies build up over time using storage.
01:23To clear them, go to Settings, then Safari, or whichever browser you use, and tap Clear
01:30History and Website Data.
01:33This frees up space and improves browsing speed.
01:36Clearing cache for other apps like streaming services can also help.
