Storage space can be hard to come by on your iPhone. One minute all seems okay and like you have enough space, and then the next: you don’t know what hit your phone but you’re down to nothing. Perhaps the “Storage Full” pop-up takes you by surprise and you struggle to find ways to free up space quickly (how many videos and photos can you delete before you throw up your hands and say “no more?”). Or maybe this is a common occurrence for you and you can never seem to keep enough storage space on your phone to use it in the ways you want.
Whatever your personal struggle is with your phone and space, there are plenty of insider tricks you can follow to “maximize” storage space on your iPhone — one expert happily shares her knowledge:

Use an External Flash Drive
There’s a lot to be said for lo-fi tech devices that we’ve been ignoring for years. The external flash drive is making a big comeback as more and more iPhone users realize it’s the most economical way to gain storage space without paying for more iCloud storage. Instead of saving your photos, videos, and other large files to the cloud, you will be connecting a flash drive to your phone that can hold mega amounts of data. Transferring your files over from your phone to your drive takes nothing more than a few quick clicks.
The portable accessory is affordable, simple to use, and will significantly reduce the amount of storage space your phone consumes.
Delete Old Files from Your Phone
Your phone will only start saving storage space once you’ve transferred files over from your phone to your flash drive and then have taken the next crucial step: you’ll have to delete these large files from your phone. The flash drive is a great place to store files like videos, music, media, PDFs, and word documents. When you plug the flash drive into your phone, you’ll be able to access these files with or without an internet connection, which is a nice perk.
But don’t neglect that all-important last step that will ensure your phone is clear of storage-hogging files: delete, delete, delete.
