People Are Just Finding Out About This iPhone Hack To Free Up Storage—It Only Takes Seconds!

How often are you confounded by a lack of storage on your phone? The kind of storage issues that render it impossible for you to take photos or download apps and files after a certain point? 

Now, how often have those storage issues left you in a panic, rushing around to free up storage any old way you’ve been taught you should? As a result, you’ve probably deleted one too many photos and videos, parted ways with emails, notes, and files before you feel fully comfortable doing so, and took part in a host of other “rash” decisions that — worst of all — didn’t even free up that much storage. If storage woes have left you scratching your head one too many times, Tech Expert Anthony Buzzetta at G Tier has a hack for you — well, more like three storage-saving hacks. But start with his top tip for conserving storage easily — it takes mere seconds to do and can make a huge difference. 

There’s no denying it: photos and videos can take up an excessive amount of storage when left uncompressed, yet this process is completely reversible, Buzzetta points out. “By compressing these images, you’ll save a considerable amount of space, while still being able to access them whenever needed,” he says. “To do this: open the Settings app -> scroll down until you find “Photos” -> press it -> select the option labeled “Optimize Storage” from within the Photo Library section.”

Your options when it comes to photos, videos, and storage space aren’t simply “delete and forget about them.” Compressing them allows you to keep them around in a different format that is far more forgiving to your storage.
