How do I increase iPad storage?

How do I increase storage? I have deleted everything I can and still not enough storage to work on anything.

It is impossible to increase the amount of RAM or internal storage in your iPad - as this is fixed during manufacture; what you have is fixed for the life of your device. You can, however, subscribe to a higher tier of iCloud storage - but this is not a substitute for internal storage.


If your internal storage is full, your only option is to better manage the storage that you have - and delete unused Apps or unneeded data.

“Offloading” Apps can be a helpful method of creating temporary space for a software update.

There is no way to increase the memory on your device. You delete things until you have enough space, such as photos, music, videos, messages, email, apps etc. If you have such an old iPad it is still on iOS 11, you may want to give serious consideration to moving to a newer, more modern iPad.


Lets look at what is taking up space on your iPad:


Go to Settings > General > iPad Storage. What is shown there?

Bonjour tout d’abord le stockage interne de l’iPad ne peut pas être augmenté

Mais pour libérer de la place si vos photos prennent beaucoup de place je vous conseille de les mettrent sur iCloud

Sur iCloud vous avez 5Go gratuitement mais vous pouvez voir 50Go (0,99€) 200Go (2,99€) et 2To (9,99€) par mois

Apres vous pouvez essayer de redémarrer votre iPad cela éliminera le cache et vous pouvez supprimer votre historique si Safari prend de la place sur votre iPad

Avez vous d’autres questions ou besoin de plus de détails ?

bonne soirée
