How to live with an iPhone or iPad device with only 16GB !!
We can agree that - for a variety of reasons - you may be among the countless users who end up with an iPhone or iPad just 16GB, your budget may be controlling and you can not buy it with greater capacity, you might be offered a good deal at a low price , Or maybe you simply underestimate the storage you need, but if you want to revive your iPhone or iPad, use it completely free to watch or download video files and install a lot of apps and games; you'll just need to do some computation or pay a small amount.
Thiefs of storage space :
It is important to know what objects consume storage space so that you can behave accordingly. The most serious criminals here are: photos, videos, music, podcasts and games. Needless to say, there are a lot of unnecessary applications and multimedia files that you can delete to save more space for the things you want. To know your storage thieves go to the Settings app and choose
General> Storage & iCloud Usage> Manage Storage
In moments you'll see like this:
As we see the application of Facebook occupies a large amount of storage memory, in addition to a depleted application of battery power is terrible; so delete the application and dealing with Facebook through the browser will help you on two fronts, and you can install games and other applications on the basis of need, You can - for example - install some of the games or applications that you rarely use when needed.
Quality imaging in iPhone and iPad :
With every new iPhone or iPad, Apple attaches high resolution sensors to take photos and videos. This news is good for quality and bad for storage. The paradox is that most of the images we see on our phones or we share them via Facebook or Instagram, where the accuracy and number of megapixel is not necessary here, even 1080 video is overstated to display on the phone or tablet.
Your small 720p movies look very good and consume less space. You can configure your camera settings in Settings> Photos & Camera, scroll down to the camera section, and press the video recording option. If you accurately visualize 4K or 1080 pixels / 60 frames per second, try moving to 1080/30 frames per second or even 720 pixels, chances are good that you will not notice a big difference and will certainly provide plenty of storage.
Unfortunately Apple's camera application does not allow you to capture images with less precision. Therefore, you can try external camera applications such as Camera +.
Cloud storage :
As mentioned above, images and video files eliminate 16 GB of rocket speed. Fortunately, the iOS system can help: improve your storage feature, by unloading images into iCloud account, it is possible to save your device space by storing HD images automatically to iCloud while smaller and less accurate copies of all images on your phone are saved . With the image library running on iCloud.
Go to Settings and select iCloud then Images and make sure the image library is running and press "Optimize Storage", although it may take some time before the implementation is complete.
Although the iCloud account gives you 5 GB of storage, it may prove to be insufficient for all of your files. Fortunately, it is not expensive to increase this storage space; you can pay $ 1.49 a month for up to 50 GB.
If you're already paying for cloud storage elsewhere, through apps like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive you can sync your photos to your cloud account, allowing you to delete them directly from your iPhone or iPad. However, when you use one of these applications, make sure that the Application action setting is enabled in the background.
Get rid of old messages :
Application of iMessage messages can be a major cause of memory fullness, especially if you send a lot of multimedia a lot. You can not delete a message application, but you can delete individual conversation threads. Open the messaging app and press "Edit" in the top left corner, press the bubble to the right of each conversation you want to delete, then click "Delete" in the bottom right corner.
If you prefer not to clean the message history in person, you can change message settings to delete conversations automatically after a certain period of time. You can access this option through Settings, Messages, and Message Log.
External storage :
As we already know, Apple is adamant about not allowing the addition of a MicroSD memory module, which helps explain why their devices do not have memory card slots, meaning if you want to dump photos and videos or carry a large library of music and movies, there's no solution .
Error, you can already add additional storage to your device, and it must be external only. This can take the form of an additional USB flash drive, or a wireless media module that transfers data through Wi-Fi if you're willing to pay a large sum, each with its own pros and cons.
Replace the internal memory chip :
I've heard a lot about Chinese stores that replace the internal memory chip with 64 or 128 GB or more memory as you like, but hey, do not be afraid. I did not ask you to travel to China just to add extra capacity to your memory, but with some research and investigation in your country you will find that idea available in the smallest shops and maintenance centers - specialized and non-specialized - and it does not cost much and you have to be a little adventurous.
