Today we are going to explain how to live with 16GB on the iPhone and not die trying , something that many users will appreciate since this storage is one of the most sold.
When we buy an iPhone, perhaps one of the things we pay most attention to, apart from the price obviously, is storage. We tend to think that with 16GB we are going to fall short, that we should go for something else, such as 32Gb and even 64Gb.
But from APPerlas we tell you that with 16GB you can live perfectly and not have any type of restriction. Of course, you should take into account a series of tips that we are going to give you.
IS 16GB ON THE IPHONE MORE THAN ENOUGH OR DO WE NEED MORE?
We are going to explain how we manage the space on our devices. Something that always takes up more space than it should are photos and videos, music and obviously applications like WhatsApp, Facebook
But let's go in parts, in terms of photos and videos, we have several options to optimize the space that this section occupies. Back in the day we told you about a little trick that we have when activating iCloud photos, which reduces the size of our photos, but preserving their quality. You can see this article HERE .
On the other hand, and it is something that we usually do, is to make a backup copy of our photos in Dropbox or Google Photos. The latter also gives us unlimited space in the cloud, thus being able to save as many photos and videos as we want.In this way, we save the photos in the cloud and we can access them whenever we want, and of course, we delete them from our device.
We can also save our photos and videos on the computer or a hard drive, so we know we won't lose them and we'll keep them safe. The only drawback is that we won't be able to access them whenever we want.
Regarding music, everyone knows that we have 2 great streaming music services, such as Apple Music and Spotify. In both cases, we do not have to save the music on our device, since everything will be in the cloud. The only drawback is that we are going to consume data from our rate, although it is true that it is not consumed as much as users think, with a rate of just over 1GB we will have plenty to listen to music and also browse as we do usually.
And finally, we have applications like WhatsApp, Facebook In instant messaging applications we have to save all the photos or videos that are sent to us, with all that this entails. The problem with doing this is that we are saving everything they send us on our device and let's be honest, we don't want to save everything they send us. So we recommend you empty WhatsApp chats or any other messaging app from time to time. If you don't know how to do it, you can look at our article HERE .
Something that we all miss and don't realize is the amount of information that is saved on Facebook. There are several ways to free up this space, but we recommend a very simple one that our iPhone will appreciate.When you see that the Facebook app occupies too much, it is best to delete it and reinstall it, in this way we will delete everything and start from scratch.
Therefore, our answer to the question “Is 16GB on the iPhone more than enough?” is yes. Obviously if we have more space, much better, but the more space, the more garbage we store.
