Hey what's up? This is Andy from MyTechMethods.com here with a quick tip for all you iOS users
out there. This is how to immediately free up a ton of space on an iPhone, iPod, or iPad.
So if you ever find yourself running low on space on your iOS device, have no fear. Here's
a quick way to free up a ton of space, and it's really easy to do. So what you want to
do is go into your Settings, and then tap General, and then go to your Usage. And here
it'll populate a list of all the apps that you have installed on your device and how
much space each app is taking up on your device. So once it loads you'll see a list of all
your apps here, and you can see that it's listed by the app that uses the most. So music
is listed first on mine because it's using up the most, 20.7 gigabytes. And what you
want to do here on this list is find apps that you can delete then immediately reinstall
to free up a lot of space. So for example I'm not going to delete my music or podcasts,
but I can delete Facebook because it's using up 147 unnecessary megabytes of data. So the
app size right here is only 57 megabytes. That's how big the Facebook app originally
is, but it's using up 147 megabytes of cached files that is unnecessary so you can hit Delete
App, Delete App and it frees up 150 megabytes on mine. Yours could be more. So go through
these apps and look for apps that are taking up at least 100 megabytes, and for example
all the social networking sites are a big culprit of this. They take up a lot of unnecessary
space. So Instagram, each time you look at your Instagram feed it saves cached files
to your device, which it doesn't need. The app size originally is only 21 megabytes so
it's taking up 134 megabytes of unnecessary space. So I can delete this app just like
with Facebook. And then Vine does it bad too. So it's taking up 100 megabytes so I'll delete
this app. Now once you delete those apps all you have to do is go back into your Apple
app store and reinstall those apps that you just deleted. And they will download and reinstall
in the same exact location that they were before. So if you had it in a folder it'll
go back into that folder and you won't lose any of the app settings that you had. So that
is how to free up space on an iPhone, iPod, or iPad. So go ahead and try that out and
let me know how much space you freed up using that method. If you enjoyed this video, if
