These are some effective tips and tricks that will help you out!
#1 Find Out The Culprit Apps
Before you start optimizing the storage space on your iPhone (iOS 10), it is better to find out which apps are currently taking the maximum space and make an action plan accordingly. To find out, go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage. Doing that would take you to the list of all the apps installed on your iPhone along with the storage space they have consumed. The apps will be arranged in the decreasing order of their memory usage. In this way, you can easily see which app is taking how much space.
#2 Use Google Photos App For Media Storage Must Read:Why is my iPad so slow?
Being an iPhone user, you just can’t abstain from photography and eventually your limited storage space can be a major setback. Of course, you can backup your photos on icloud and then remove them from your phone. But what if by any chance, you want to see a photograph that has been backed up and removed or you want to show it to someone but it’s no longer there in your photos gallery. Then you’re left with the only option to retrieve it back from the iCloud. But doing that would definitely take some time, a few minutes at least. Plus, you can’t do that every time you need to find some photograph, can you? I know what you’re thinking, there’s gotta be an easy way. Well actually, there is.
Use Google Photos app instead of the default photo app in your iPhone. Google Photos app is free and gives you unlimited cloud storage. The best part is, you can access all your saved photos instantly. In fact, it’s just as easy as the default photos app. The app automatically backs up photos from your default photos gallery and gives you instant access to your photos. After that, you can delete all the photos from your default photos app. In case, you want to share any photo, you can easily download that photo and then share it wherever you want. The download will only take a few seconds. That way, you can free up a lot of space which can be further used for storing other important data.Jihosoft iPhone Backup Extractor Extract and recover all types of data from iPhone backup files, such as camera roll photos, videos, SMS, contacts, reminders, WhatsApp, and etc.

#3 Optimize The Music
You must be carrying a lot of music files in your iPhone and that’s probably why the storage space is running out. The music app eats a lot of storage space in case you prefer to download songs from iTunes. Of course, I understand that a lot of people can’t live without music and I’m not telling you to renounce that obsession for music. I’m just telling you to change your ways. So instead of downloading music from iTunes, you can always use streaming apps such as iTunes Radio, Soundcloud, Pandora, Spotify and iMusic. All these apps give you unlimited access to all your favorite tracks. Of course, you need to have a high-speed internet connection for seamless streaming of media and many a times, you can’t have that. Well, don’t worry then. You can always save the music tracks for offline play. The data will be stored in the cache memory and it won’t occupy too much space (much less compared to the ones you download). I personally recommend iMusic for offline play. This stunning app lets you stream and cache the audio as well as video songs for offline play. iMusic is just as easy to use as any other music app even when you’re offline. If at any point, you don’t want to keep some tracks in your playlists, you can easily uncache them and doing that would free some storage space as well.
Now, if you still prefer iTunes and you only want to play the downloaded tracks, there’s still something you can do with your Music app to optimize the storage space. What you can do is, “turn ‘on’ the optimized storage in Music settings.” The Optimized Storage feature in iOS 10 automatically discards those tracks from the library that you haven’t listened to in a while. But don’t worry, the tracks will still be there on the iCloud so you can redownload them any time you want. In this way, it makes room for the new data by dumping some older songs that you don’t usually play. You can also set up a data limit so that it would know when to start deleting the older tracks.
To turn on the optimized storage, go to Settings > Music. Under the downloads section, tap on Optimized Storage and turn it on. That’s it!
