We analyze iMyFone Umate, free up space on your iPad easily

The storage problem is becoming more and more recurrent, especially in the 16GB devices that Apple continues to sell, meanwhile, the weight of applications and photographs continues to increase. More and more capacity is needed, the rise of heavy applications continues. It is because of that Many alternatives emerge to keep storage at bay like iMyFone Umate, thanks to this program you can control the storage of your iPhone or iPad, as well as free up space quickly and easily. It joins a large list of desktop applications for the same purpose, so we are going to tell you how it works and what it is for.

The application gives us many functionalities, all aimed at improving the storage of our iOS device, compatible with all of them in a universal way, so we can understand that it includes both iPhone, iPad and of course iPod Touch. A single storage management tool for all devices. It is good to have everything centralized, with a single program and desktop device we can control the storage of our iOS device. The only downside to the software is that it's paid, but not everything could be good. We tell you what and how iMyFone works.

Scan the device and remove the junk

As soon as we connect the device we will have the possibility to scan it for junk files, but not only that, but it scans the entire storage, so it will find many more things in addition to the files known as junk. The iOS system stores many of these files, which it subsequently deletes, However, if we make intensive use of the device, it is likely that we will not be able to eliminate all those files, not to mention the immense amount of cached files that we store daily applications, such as Facebook, Instagram or the own WhatsApp and the happy groups. So, it will also clear the cache of everything related to photos and system files, or at least that is what it promises. Personally, I've only had 18MB of junk storage removed, so I haven't had high hopes.

It also eliminates the temporary files of the applications, which are the ones that really cause more damage to the memory of the device, Facebook or Twitter are big culprits of the loss of storage on our iOS device, with iMyFone we can keep it well at bay.

Lossless photo compression

The iMyFone program has a compression option, that is, it will take all the photographs from our memory, to later compress them, delete the old ones and reintroduce the new ones. This compression is lossless and can save up to 75% of space. But we must point out that it has no loss for portals such as social networks or screens like the iPhone, on the computer screen for example, if we can notice the loss of resolution. However, iMyFone automatically creates a backup with the photographs that we are going to compress.

Automatic app removal

iMyFone has a function that allows the elimination of applications automatically, that is, it will inform us of which applications take up the most space, and we can eliminate them all with a single touch. Be very careful with this option, it is the one that I have used thinking that it would only delete the cache, and it has not been like that, it has eliminated almost all the applications from my iPhone with one stroke and I have had to download them again. This function seems completely absurd to me, especially when through a recently discovered method, iOS automatically delete the cache of all applications to increase the space on our iPhone or iPad, we tell you the method in this LINK, which consists of downloading a movie in the iTunes Store that exceeds our storage, then the system will clear the caches to try to provide more space. Another negative aspect is that the application does not have an interface adapted to retina resolution, something that is to be expected in an application that costs around $ 19,95, although with some offers it could stay at $ 9,95.
