If you use your iPhone's HDR mode or Instagram a lot, you've probably noticed that your phone automatically saves two photos: the HDR version and the normal version or, in the case of Instagram, the filtered, cropped Instagram version and the normal version. Scroll down to the bottom and untick the toggle next to Keep Normal Photo.
If you have an iPhone 7 Plus , you'll see a similar toggle for Portrait mode that you can also disable. To stop double-saving Instagram photos, open the Instagram app, tap your profile tab and then tap the Settings gear icon in the upper right corner.
Under Settings , untick the toggle next to Save Original Photos. The photos in your Photo Stream take up space -- though not as much as original photos, because they're uploaded to your device at a "device-optimized resolution," according to Apple.
You probably don't need these photos, since they're probably just duplicates of photos that are already on your device. The photos in your Photo Stream will be deleted from your iPhone, but they will remain on any other devices such as your iPad or computer for which you have Photo Stream turned on.
They'll also remain on your iCloud account for 30 days from the date they were uploaded. If you use Safari all the time, your iPhone may be storing web history and data that you simply do not need. To clear Safari's browser cache, open up the Settings app and tap Safari. Scroll down and click Clear History and Website Data.
If you use Chrome instead of Safari, open up the Chrome app and tap the triple-dot button in the top right. Next, tap History and at the bottom of the screen tap Clear Browsing Data. Those playlists and albums you downloaded to rock out on the subway can start to add up. Since these are protruding attachments, they aren't the most elegant devices, but they do offer flexibility and a lot of storage. The third option for adding storage to your iPhone is a Wi-Fi-connected hard drive.
Not all external hard drives with Wi-Fi features can be used with your iPhone—look for one that specifically touts iPhone support. When you find one, you can add hundreds of gigabytes, or even terabytes , of storage to your phone. Before you buy, there are two things to consider:. On the plus side, an external hard drive is more versatile because it can also be used with a Mac or PC, so you can get double duty out of this kind of hard drive.
