IPhone storage space issue for iCloud?
I have 4.9 gigs available.
When I try backing up my phone, it reads that I need 5.1 gigs to make the backup.
I deleted all my messages, erased all my emails with attachments and old ones, I have about 12 photos and no videos, and I unchecked every app in the iCloud settings. I don't understand why I need more space. Is it bc I have a lot of music?
My iPad is backed up and only 49mbs were required. I have no extra backups or anything. I have 4.9 gigs available, but I don't know why my phone requires so much space.
I'm guessing it's the music. Help please lol I want to use the iCloud for final fantasy 6!
5 GB is the standard allocation for iCloud. You can purchase more. It does not have to be a whole lot considering that it really only holds onto essential things. And it does not store photos.
- Why is my iPhone storage space used so high? I have a 16GB iPhone 4s. I have no songs or videos on it. I have about 32 apps and 500 pictures. My storage space used is at 13.2 GB. Why is that so high? That is almost all of my available data? How can I bring this down? I have a friend with the same phone, same number of pictures and about the same number of apps (maybe a few less) and his storage is only about 4GB used.
- My iPhone suddenly went from having 9.4 gb of free space to 7.5 gb of free space? I didn't download any apps or anything, or record any videos or take pictures. I didn't do anything, it just all of a sudden happened today. How can I fix it? I have a 16gb iPhone 5
- IPhone used space and available space are far from adding up? On my phone it says 12gb used space and 1.5gb available but I have a 16gb phone, while leaves a 2.5 gb space gap. Does iOS take up that much space on its own or is something wrong?
- IPhone storage full but iCloud storage not? I'm in the Navy and I'm going on deployment soon so, I'm racking up on stuff like movies and music so I won't be bored during deployment… I'm 3 seasons in on downloading stuff on Netflix and it says my storage is full… I deleted a lot of useless apps and music already and I downloaded a few more then it happened again… I see my iCloud storage is very empty but my phone storage is too full… How can I fix this.
