For this, We are going to teach you how to save space if you are a regular user or subscribed to Apple Music, Apple's streaming music system has excellent integration, and it cares that we save the maximum amount of available space in our storage.

First of all, we will go to the Settings application of our iPhone, of course. Then, we will navigate to the «Music» application, or we will use the settings search engine, you already know that it is at the top, something like the settings Spotlight. Once inside Music and if we have paid for the Apple Music subscription, the option "optimize storage" will appear. We simply press, and select the storage we want, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB or 16GB of maximum space. In addition, next to it will appear the approximate number of songs that we can save with that storage.

    Hi Miguel,

    The option, exactly, says "minimum space", not maximum, so I am afraid that the operation of this option is not exactly as indicated in the article.

    It looks more like it will wait until there is hardly any space on the device to start deleting music (or cached Apple Music files) up to the limit that we have set for it.

    Another part, related to the cache and data problems of applications such as instagram, facebook and snapchat that reach up to more than 1gb. They can erase the apps and then install them again, in order to get that memory back.
