Pre-Installed Apps That Are Taking Up Too Much Storage On Your Phone

Having an iPhone can be super convenient and helpful, until it starts to run out of storage.

Using an iPhone whose storage is filled up can lead to a host of issues, from lagging to a draining battery. When storage space starts to disappear, lots of people begin to panic and start deleting super important photos, files, etc. However, before you do that, it might be a better idea to ditch some pre-installed apps instead. Read more about three apps you should part with to save space below.

1. Voice Memos

Some people are super reliant on their voice memos app, and some people hardly use it. When your phone is full of storage, random voice memos you have sitting on your device, collecting dust, can only add to the issue. If you're not using your voice memos app, taking notes on paper, in your Notes app, or elsewhere, then it's likely worth deleting. At the very least, if you don't want to ditch the app entirely, you should clear out the voice memos you don't need anymore.

2. Apple TV

Apple TV has become such a big streaming platform that Apple decided to make it a pre-installed app for modern iOS users. If you're subscribed to it and enjoy Apple TV's original content, then having it on your phone can be nice. But if you don't have a subscription and can't watch anything, then you should certainly delete it to save up some storage space. Even if you do have a subscription, if you're running out of space on your iPhone, deleting it and sticking to watching it on your TV instead can help.

3. iMovie

It's one of the first original pre-installed apps put out by Apple, and though some filmmakers love it for the occasional casual project, it often goes unused by most iPhone users. There's a good chance that you're not making movies on iMovie, and you'd be surprised by how much storage you can save by deleting it, as it holds onto all sorts of files and features until it's gone.
