4 ‘Useless’ iPhone Apps Experts Say Are Wasting Storage Space On Your Phone

When you need to boost your storage space pronto and aren’t sure how to do it, one of the fastest solution is to delete apps that take up the most storage. Depending on how you use your favorite apps, this list is going to be different for every iPhone user, but generally speaking, similar app types are often cited as among the most egregious when it comes to taking up large amounts of storage space.

Deleting photos and videos that you no longer need (or uploading them to iCloud before deleting them) is another option if you aren’t willing to part with apps. But if you’re ready to do a little cleaning up where your apps are concerned, consider deleting these four apps, which many consider “useless,” and that are taking up storage space.

There are few lists where social media apps won’t appear as among the worst offenders when it comes to storage space and battery power. Because social media apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat are so resource-intensive and rely on your photos, videos, and cached data, they tend to take up more storage than other apps. Consider deleting one or two if you don’t want to get rid of them all to make an impact.
