At the top of the screen you will see how much space you've used and you have remaining. Below that you will see exactly how much space each app is taking up. This will give you a clear idea on which apps you need to manage or just get rid of.
2. Recently Deleted Photos
Photos and videos can very easily take up your iPhone's storage, so deleting some would seem like a good idea, right? Technically, yes, but do remember to go to the recently deleted album and delete them one last time!
To do this, just scroll to the bottom of your Photos album section, and you will find your hidden collection of recently deleted photos and videos. Once they're deleted from here, they will be gone forever - as well as all the storage they were hogging!
3. Empty Safari's Data
Safari’s data is made up of cookies and your browsing history. Clearing both of these is a great way to free up some space on your iPhone.
To clear them, go to: Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
4. Delete Messages
iOS automatically saves your messages and pictures permanently. Audio clips and videos recorded from the Messages app are set to expire after a couple minutes by default, but they won't expire if they're made outside the Messages app. This means there could be a bunch of videos sneaking around inside your messages, which you may want to delete to get more space.
You can set messages to automatically delete after 30 days. Just open settings and tap: Messages > Keep Messages > 30 Days
