How to free up space on your iPhone without jailbreak

Free up space

Space on the iPhone begins to be a real problem for users of the 16GB versions of it, despite the fact that Apple has already eradicated this storage capacity in its store, there is still a huge number of users who own 16GB devices compatible with iOS 10, in fact, I would venture to say that they are irretrievably the majority. So, we are going to teach you two ways to eliminate "junk" space from our iPhone, without the need to delete photos or videos, and that will greatly increase the free storage space on our device. Don't miss today's tip to easily free up space on your iPhone.

We are going to teach you two modes, the classic one that allows us to free up space in a simple way and without having to install anything at all, taking advantage of the iOS cleaning tools, and on the other hand an alternative method that will allow us to install iCleaner Pro, the tool for most powerful iOS cleaning we can find.

Free Up Space on iPhone - Easy Mode

AppStore

This is the simple one, it will save us having to install content and all the steps, however, sometimes it is not as effective as the advanced mode can be. However, the results are spectacular, I could see myself grow the free storage of my iPhone from 1,5GB to 5,6GB in a matter of seconds, and it is that iOS has its own cleaning tool. This tool used to run when we tried to download content from the iTunes Store that exceeded our available storage, however, this function was limited by Apple with the arrival of iOS 10 and its new terms of service.

Of course, what we have been able to observe is that this function has been moved to the iOS App Store, something to which we all welcome without a doubt. The question is: How can I run the iOS Cleanup Tool? Simple, go to the iOS App Store and look for the free or purchased application that occupies the most space, it is essential that the size of the application is greater than our available space, I, for example, used Infinity Blade III with its 3,1GB. Immediately afterwards, the application will begin to download and you will see how on the icons of many applications you can see the subtitle «Cleaning", and that is it is getting rid of all junk files, it is working. Let the system finish.

Finally Delete the decoy application that you have used from your device and go to: Settings> General> Information, to appreciate how the size of your free space has grown considerably. Fast and easy.

Free up space on iPhone - Installing iCleaner Pro

iCleaner

iCleaner Pro is one of the most popular iOS tweaks, and we have to tell you that it is possible to easily install it on our device without even performing the Jailbreak. For it, first of all we are going to get hold of the .IPA of iCleaner Pro in the following LINK.

When we already have it, we are going to download the two programs that we will need on our Mac to install it through the cable connection:

  • Download Xcode 7
  • Download Cydia Impactor: www.cydiaimpactor.com

Now we start Xcode 7 We will manage our device, it is important that we have a free or paid developer account enabled at Apple. We will add our account in Xcode 7 following the steps that our colleague Luis Padilla left us in his previous tutorial. Now that we have the device linked, we close Xcode 7 and start Cydia Impactor.

Cydia Impactor

We will start Cydia Impactor from the executable file in question, and once it is started, we will connect our iPhone or iPad via USB-Lightning. When you have recognized it, We will take the previously downloaded .IPA of the iCleaner Pro and drag it over the small window. Then it will ask us for the Apple account, we can enter it without fear. You will inform us of the risks and install the application.

Now a window will appear on the iPhone to verify the developer, obviously we are going to click on "Trust" and we can now run iCleaner Pro. We remind you that this application will last approximately one week, how long it will take to revoke the certificate and we would have to perform the same paraphernalia again. I hope it has helped you to free up space on your iPhone.

    I changed from Android (2 years ago without iOS) and I found this issue quite disappointing, the thing is that I have iOS 10.1.1 (1st version) iPhone 6s and the iTunes Store method works for me, I have also tried it with the iPhones of friends and family, all with the latest version of the operating system, I do not understand why everyone says that it no longer works. It is also using the Colombian iTunes Store ... I don't know if it has something to do with it.
