tips to free space on your iPhone

By -



Often feel storage crunch in your 16GB iPhone? Have to often delete existing data or apps to create space? Here are  tips/best practices to help you make the most from the storage space you have in your iPhone.
1. Back up and delete old photos

Camera photos accumulate overtime and tend to consume a lot of space. It is always a good practice to backup old photos on Google Drive or Dropbox and delete them from the device. Alternatively, this is also where the Wi-Fi hard drive will come handy.
2. Delete old messages (iMessages/ SMS)

Not every old message is important. While messages may not consume GBs but they do consume noticeable amount of space, especially iMessages. It is good to delete them and make way for a new app. Also, in the Settings menu under Messages, users can 'opt out' of never delete messages automatically.
3. Get rid of unnecessary apps

Apps consume a lot of real estate in any smartphone. For 16GB iPhone users, it makes no sense in keeping unnecessary apps or the ones which are hardly used.
4. Delete books and download only when required again

If a user doesn’t read iBooks on their phone, he or she can opt to delete it and get it again when actually required. It is always saved in iCloud for future. It helps in saving some MBs.
5. Turn off "Keep Normal Photo"

In the Settings menu under Photos, there is an option to turn off "Keep Normal Photos". This helps in avoiding duplicate photographs on the device, when HDR is used. Also, deleting photos shot in burst mode helps a lot.
6. Clean your music playlist

There might be songs that are unheard for a long time or simply doesn’t suit the taste anymore. Delete them. Users can make maximum use of iCloud along with other music streaming apps to tune into the latest music.
7. Clear offline data

Offline data from Safari or Chrome takes away a considerable amount of space. It is a good practice to clear browser cache regularly including offline reading lists.
8. Delete duplicates

Hunt and delete. Most phones tend to have a large amount of duplicate data in the form of songs, videos and other files. It is simply a waste of storage.
9. Migrate videos/ movies

Videos and movies are mostly a one-time watch on phones. If something is not important, it is better to migrate them to a Wi-Fi external storage or back it up on Google Drive. Alternative, deleting some helps as well.

re-writeable paper ?

  Heard of re-writeable CD or drives , ever heard of re-writeable paper ?                            Printing has come a long way since the computer landed on the desktop. First,there were daisy-wheel printers, then dot-matrix printers, then inkjet and laser printers . The problem with all of these output devices, of course, is that they require paper -- lots of it -- and expensive consumables, like toner. Why can't someone invent an inkless, tonerless printer that allows the operator to reuse paper? As it turns out, this isn't a new idea. Xerox has been working with so-called electronic paper since the 1970s. Its most promising solution is a type of paper called "Gyricon." A Gyricon sheet is a thin layer of transparent plastic containing millions of small oil-filled cavities. A two-colored bead is free to rotate inside each cavity. When a printer applies a voltage to the surface of the she...

As they say, life with a smartphone is like having a second brain in your pocket. However, there are times when this second brain goes dead because of something as trivial as your phone running out of battery.  With most buyers focusing on phones with bigger displays and faster and more power-hungry processors, the humble battery pack that actually brings all the magic to life is often forgotten. But having said that, a big battery on a low spec, or worse a badly designed phone is also of no use. So here's our list of phones that not just offer great battery life but also come with best specs (well, almost).   Moto E4 Plus Kicking things off is the recently launched Moto E4 Plus which brings with it a massive 5000 mAh battery pack, a 5.5-inch 720p display, a fingerprint sensor running on Android 7.1.1. It's also equipped with a capable MediaTek MT 6737 quad-core processor clocking at 1.3GHz paired with 3GB RAM. There's also 32GB of inbuilt storage...
