Apple iPhones have their own built in storage -- it cannot be increased. So, if you need to free up internal storage, consider performing the following...


A. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

B. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:


C. Clear "Other":

III. Use iCloud Storage, if an Option:
