It is well known that when you install apps on iPhone , it can consume hundreds of megabytes, if not gigabytes, of storage space. The only way to deal with this is unfortunately to delete the apps.
Many people, when deciding to buy an iPhone, choose the one with the least storage space, as Applecharges much more for devices with more storage space.
Basic apps like Twitteruse up almost 2GB of space. Of course, this is most likely just cache, for things like profile pictures and the like, but still, the number is huge.
Many questions concern users regarding storage space:
Why is the only way to free up space to delete and reinstall an app?
Why can't we see what's in the hidden memory?
Why can't we set a limit on this?
There are certainly many things we cannot learn behind those question marks.
The importance of cache is certainly significant for applications, as it provides a way to store data and it doesn't need to keep downloading all the time. However, why there is no limit to it, or at least why we cannot somehow clean it regularly, is strange.
Also, the games we choose to download take up a lot of space in most cases, and at the same time the cache adds even more to this amount.
However, the apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone also consume large amounts of its storage space. These apps are usually huge.
Facebook, Dropbox, Uber, and Google Sheets are all over 200MB. iMovie is 615MB.
Even a very basic app like Yahoo!consumes 200 MB.
Everything on phone seems to take up valuable space on your device. Of course, the apps that eat up the most space are photos and videos. That's why it's a good idea to keep these files on a USB stick so that they don't burden your device.
