STILL WORKING FROM HOME?

Now is the perfect time to clean up the space on your phone

- 

With social distancing still in full force, many of us are still working from home, but saving lots of the time usually taken to commute. Some of us are also working fewer hours because of the pandemic. Cleaning up the space on your phone is a great way to work on something productive that will make you very happy you did!

Being stuck indoors so much, many of us are turning to our smartphones to stay connected with friends and family and keep us entertained. That means more photos and videos are being made and uploaded to social media, and more games and apps are downloaded and installed. As a result, smartphone storage capacities quickly fill up, leading to the inability to add any more files as well as slower performance and frustrating lags.

Some well-known options to help free up capacity include:

Backing up to the Cloud: This does the trick for the average user but with larger photographs and high quality videos, the amount of free storage offered can easily be used up, resulting in extra monthly subscription fees.

Remove unwanted email attachments: Reviewing your storage to delete unused attachments or conversation trails always works as a quick fix for some additional space.

Save important files directly onto your computer: Connect your smartphone directly to your other devices and take advantage of their available space.

Uninstall apps you no longer use: This could contribute to storage issues, and removing them could free up space.
