3 iPhone Apps That Are Hogging Your Storage And Slowing Down Your Device

iPhone apps are the source of so much pleasure and practicality. Whether you consider apps that provide directions to keep you from falling off the map, apps that allow you to stay in close contact with friends and family, or apps that let you shop until you drop, there is no shortage of great apps out there to keep you occupied and keep your life on track.

But when you think about the many roles these apps play and how resource-intensive they can be, it makes complete sense that they are also one of the greatest sources of storage and battery drainage for your phone. All apps aren’t equal in terms of how much battery power they consume and, in turn, how much they can slow down your device, and a few are the “bad apples” that ruin the whole bunch.

To find out which apps are consuming the most storage space, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and scroll down to see the apps and their storage usage. Once you figure out which apps are the cause of so much of your phone woes, you then have some difficult decisions to make. Should you delete the app outright, change some settings (when possible) to keep it from taking up so much storage space, or leave it as it is and just deal with the slowness?

These three apps are among those that could be hogging your storage and slowing down your iPhone.
