New iPhone Storage Hack Will Save You From Costly Memory Upgrades

According to The Sun's latest report, the new iOS 16 update brings a very useful Photos app feature that removes duplicate images.

Of course, your device should run the iOS 16 version. Once you update to this operating system, here are the steps you need to follow:

1. First, visit your Photos app and go to Albums.
2. After that, scroll down until you see the Duplicates album.
3. All the images in the Duplicates album can be removed, allowing you to free up storage.

This new feature can allow you more storage in just a few seconds. But, as mentioned above, it is an iOS 16 feature.

You are good to go if you have an iPhone SE 2nd-gen or other new models, such as the latest iPhone 14.

How to Free Up iPhone Storage

Of course, iPhone models older than the iPhone SE 2nd-gen can't access the latest Photo app mentioned above.

MacWorld provided some of the things you can do to ensure that unnecessary files and other content are cleared up:

• Delete apps that are no longer useful to you.
• Try following Apple's storage recommendations.
• Clear up your iPhone's cache.
• Remove photos that are too old or no longer valuable to you.
• Delete text messages that are no longer needed.
