Your Photos May Be Taking Up Too Much Memory

In 2017, we hardly do anything without our smartphones. We use them for photos, notes, music, directions, the Internet, and of course, apps — from crucial apps for our daily “survival,” to mindless games we play to fill the time. Whatever the case, our ever-growing dependence on our phones (coupled with the ever-growing range of their abilities) has resulted in the dreaded task of choosing between what we wish to hold on to and what the phone can store.

Now that we use our phones like a digital camera — and now that our phones can hold a vast amount of data in comparison to a few years ago — we often allow our phones to get bloated with the large number of photos that we take. Like songs in our muslic libraries, we may have so many photos on our device that we don’t realize how many unnecessary duplicates we have.

Take Advantage of the Memory Booster Feature

Further, the “storage almost full” notice is rarely a welcome notification, but there are ways to free up space without sacrificing your favorite memories or apps. With DFNDR’s Memory Booster feature, you’ll easily see all of the applications running in the background on your phone. You’ll be able to then shut them down, which will free up your phone’s RAM and speed up your device. This feature will also prevent your phone from crashing or lagging while it’s being used.

Once you’ve gone through these steps, you may still find that you’re shy of that needed space. There are other ways you can see how much space is left on your phone. Start by looking at the amount of space taken by your apps, photos, and music, etc. You’ll find this information in your phone’s settings, under “manage applications.” To start, delete old text messages and notes that you’ve forgotten about. Next, clear your browser history or information saved on apps that you may no longer need. Photos and videos typically take up the most storage, but you can save these images elsewhere, such as Dropbox, Google Photos, a flash drive, or on your computer. There are also streaming options to eliminate the necessity of downloaded music playlists, like Spotify and Google Music.
