IPhone Storage Saturated? The Tip That Will Save You LOTS OF SPACE For Your Photos.
We all know this annoying message that appears on the iPhone: "Storage almost full".
Not having enough storage space to take new photos is very frustrating ...
It makes it necessary to look for photos to be erased in order to be able to take new ones.
Well, know that Apple has added a new feature that allows you to have more storage space.
And this for free! No need to buy a new iPhone with more storage. Look :
Apple has indeed activated a feature to automatically optimize your photos and videos. How it works ? You will see it is very simple!
As soon as your iPhone starts to run out of free space, the high resolution photos and videos are automatically replaced with lighter versions which take up fewer places.
Where have the high resolution versions gone? Don't worry, they are automatically stored in your iCloud account.
All iPhone owners benefit from this feature and a 5 GB free storage.
It must be admitted that it is not huge to store your entire photo library ...
Fortunately, it is possible to increase this storage at 50 GB for 0,99 €
If you choose to enable this feature, your iPhone will automatically put the high resolution photos on your iCloud and keep only the lighter versions on your iPhone.
Of course, these lighter versions are more than enough to show your photos to your friends on your iPhone screen.
And the big advantage is that these photos take up a lot less space, leaving you room to take new ones.
How to do
1. First of all make sure you have an iCloud account here.
2. Then go to Settings> [your name]
3. Touch iCloud and Pictures.
4. Activate the ICloud Photo Library.
5. Finally, select the option "Optimize iPhone storage"
Results
And there you have it, with this option enabled you now save a lot of storage space on your iPhone :-)
No more messages that appear every 2 seconds to tell you that you have no more free storage!
You can continue to take photos and videos even if you have exceeded your phone's internal storage.
For my part, I chose the 50 GB option at 0.99 € per month and I am not disappointed because I can put tens of thousands of photos on iCloud without any problem.
Be aware that this trick works for all iPhone 5S, 6, 6S, 7 and Plus.
You need at least iOS 8.1 to see this option appear. But of course it also works if you have iOS 9 and 10.
This trick also works if you have an iPad.
