Full Android or iPhone storage could be one of the most annoying things to you, especially if you are not managing your videos, photos, and other important files properly.
Most people owning handsets with lots of memory storage are usually the ones who are experiencing this issue. But, you can't blame them since some of them are just too busy to choose the files they want to retain in their smartphones.
On the other hand, some individuals are using backup smartphones as their own solution to the insufficient storage issue. If you don't have a backup handset, that still doesn't mean that your last resort is buying a cheap one to act as additional storage.
Tech experts provided some tricks that you can follow to free more space in your smartphone. To help you further, here are some of the methods you can try. Before you get started, you still need to remember that these techniques are not 100% accurate when it comes to providing sufficient storage. Although this is the case, they are still worth the try.

iPhone Smartphone
According to CNET's latest report, the offered methods are applicable to all iPhone models, including the latest iPhone 12 series, as well as the upcoming iPhone 13 lineup.

- After that, you must access the General option and then click the app you want to offload.
Aside from offloading your iPhone apps, you can also rely on clearing the cache of your Safari, as well as removing some non-essential text messages.

- Settings > Messages > "Stop Saving Text Messages" Option > Delete Older Messages

- Select the three dots at the top right of your device.
- Click History and then select Clear browsing data.
- Then choose All Time to clear all the data.
- Select Clear data.
- That's it. The data in your Chrome browser will be cleared.
