3 Space-Hogging iPhone Apps You Probably Don’t Use–Delete Them To Clear Up Space

Streaming Services 

We all love having streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon Prime on our phones because these apps put entertainment right in our hands and allow us to watch our favorite shows and movies and listen to music whenever we want. But it should come as no shock that these apps are resource-intensive and, therefore, take up storage space and deplete battery rather quickly. No one would suggest deleting all of your streaming services, but if you can cherry pick some of the ones you love most and delete the rest, you will help your phone retain more storage space. 

Games 

A few years back, when Words With Friends became a phenomenon, some smartphone users also began noticing significant battery drainage and a lot less storage space on their devices. We are now more aware of how resource-intensive games, including those with sophisticated animation, take up a great deal of space on our phones. One or two games on your phone won’t likely do much (unless they are among those that are extremely busy). But if you have downloaded a number of games over the years, and never delete anything, all of those gaming apps could be contributing to less overall storage space. Decide which games you need and which you can delete and you’ll likely gain back a lot more storage space. 

It’s good practice to regularly delete apps you no longer use, while also paying close attention to your settings. Is your phone screen too bright? Do you have Background App Refresh enabled? All of these seemingly small details on your device really add up when it comes to storage space.
