This Genius iPhone Hack Could Help You Instantly Free Up Storage

SanyaSM via Getty Images Ever want to capture a moment only to scramble when your phone is out of storage? Just three little words can ruin your whole day: “iPhone Storage Full.” This message always seems to pop up at the most inopportune times, like during a concert or your child’s soccer match. “I think we’ve all at some point had a problem of lack of space on our phone and multiple similar photos, videos, or accidental screenshots we can never get our hands on to delete,” Alexey Chyrva, chief product officer at Kitcast, a digital software company, told HuffPost. “Most people don’t realize just how much space duplicate photos and videos take up,” he said. Chyrva advised iPhone users to make sure “you don’t delete something that seems like the same picture but actually is something completely different and needed for you.” If your phone is synced to other devices via iCloud, deleting a picture from one may delete it from all other iCloud-synched devices.
