Hi there,
Updating your iPhone X when you’re low on storage can be a bit tricky, but here are some steps to help you free up space and successfully update your device:
Free Up Space
1. Check Storage Usage: Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage to see which apps and files are taking up the most space.
2. Delete Unnecessary Apps: Remove apps that you no longer use. Press and hold the app icon on the home screen, then tap “Remove App.”
3. Clear Out Old Messages: Delete old text messages and iMessage attachments. You can also set messages to auto-delete after a certain period by going to Settings > Messages > Keep Messages and selecting 30 days or 1 year.
4. Remove Photos and Videos: Back up your photos and videos to iCloud or your computer, then delete them from your device. You can use the Optimize iPhone Storage option in Settings > Photos to keep smaller versions on your device and store full-resolution photos in iCloud.
5. Clear Browser Cache: In Settings > Safari, tap “Clear History and Website Data” to free up space used by the browser cache.
6. Offload Unused Apps: Enable the Offload Unused Apps feature in Settings > iPhone Storage. This will remove apps you don’t use frequently but keep their data, so you can reinstall them later without losing any information.
Update Your iPhone
Once you’ve freed up some space, follow these steps to update your iPhone:
1. Backup Your iPhone: Before updating, it’s always a good idea to back up your data to iCloud or your computer.
2. Download and Install the Update:
• Connect your iPhone to Wi-Fi.
• Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
• If an update is available, tap “Download and Install.”
If you still don’t have enough space, you can update your iPhone using a computer:
1. Update via Computer:
• Connect your iPhone to your computer using a USB cable.
• Open Finder (Mac) or iTunes (Windows).
• Select your iPhone when it appears.
• Click Check for Update and then Download and Update.
I hope this helps you successfully update your iPhone X. Keep in mind that the IPhone X is only supported up to iOS 16, you would need a new iPhone to experience the more current IOS 17 and upcoming IOS 18. Let me know if you have any other questions!
