iPhone Storage Low Warnings

by Ed Sawicki

If you saw a warning on your iPhone screen about your storage being low, wouldn't you think it was your iPhone warning you of a problem?

I would, and did, when I visited YouTube recently. I know that fake messages can appear, and when you click a button, something bad happens. But in this case, it appears to be an advertisement trying to get your attention and sell you their product.

I don't recommend buying products from a company that uses techniques that a hacker might employ. Besides, if you really have low storage on your iPhone, you can deal with it without buying additional software.

To see how much of your iPhone's storage is being used, tap the Settings icon, then General, then iPhone Storage. The screen willl display something similar to this image.

This shows that there's plenty of storage space left. Of the 256 GB of storage, 150.26 GB is used and 105.26 GB is available.

Scroll down and you'll see Recommendation for dealiing with storage, such as Remove Older Downloads, Review Downloaded Media, and Review Large Attachments.
