No, the storage space is a fixed size and cannot be increased. If you need more space, you will need to delete something.


Here are some helpful articles that can guide you on how to free up storage space on your phone.

It is not possible to increase the storage on any iPhone. The phone has the amount of memory it had on the day you bought it and it cannot be increased. If you running out of space, here are your options:


  1. Delete things you don't need, such as Apps, Photos, Music, Files, Messages, Email, etc. OR
  2. Trade your phone in and buy one with enough memory to meet your storage needs. We always tell people to buy a phone with more than enough memory because once purchased, there is no way to add memory to the phone.
