This wikiHow teaches you how to see how much of your iPhone's storage is being used by your pictures, apps, and other data.
Steps
-
1Open your iPhone's Settings. It's an app showing gray cogs that can be found on one of your home screens.[1]
- If this app cannot be found on one of your home screens, it may be hiding in your Utilities folder.
-
2Tap General.
-
3Tap Storage & iCloud Usage. It is located about halfway down the screen.
-
4Tap Manage Storage. Once this screen is open, you will see your iPhone's Used and Available storage.[2]
- There are two places for storage. Tap the button under Storage, not iCloud Storage.
-
5Review your used storage. The storage screen tells you both how much data your phone has available as well as which apps are taking up the most data.[3]
- The number next to Used tells you how many gigabytes are being utilized on your phone.
- The number next to Available tells you how many gigabytes you have left. This number is calculated by subtracting your used storage from your available storage.
- Below your Used and Available storage data, your apps are listed in order of the amount of space they use.
Warnings
- Make sure you do not tap Manage Storage under iCloud after tapping Storage & iCloud Usage, as this will take you to the wrong page.Thanks!
