Sometimes, you have apps lingering on your phone that you don\u2019t use or want anymore. To get rid of those unwanted apps, use App Manager. Click here to quickly remove unwanted apps from your device:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/app_manager\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9241\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-9241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Deeplink_unusedapps-300x63.png\" alt=\"Deeplink_unusedapps\" width=\"300\" height=\"63\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Deeplink_unusedapps-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Deeplink_unusedapps.png 378w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The App Manager lets you get rid of the apps you don\u2019t want any more with just one click, saving you time and freeing up space on your phone. Instead of manually deleting apps you no longer use, App Manager allows you to see a list of your apps and quickly uninstall any old apps. These are the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">biggest app space sucks you want to avoid to ensure you have enough space on your device.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/much-memory-need-phone\/\"><b>How Much Memory Do You Need on Your Phone?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Facebook <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, the social media giant takes up a lot of space on your phone, topping the list of some rankings as the biggest space suck of all. At a minimum, Facebook takes up 200MB of storage. Facebook Messenger is in its own category; the messenger, which isn\u2019t a part of the Facebook app, also takes up a significant number of MBs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Spotify <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps it isn\u2019t surprising that a music streaming service top the lists of the biggest storage hogs on Android. With such an extensive catalog, Spotify\u2019s cache can take up more and more space on your device, with some users reporting that it takes up nearly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/community.spotify.com\/t5\/Android\/Spotify-using-1-8-gb-of-internal-memory-on-Android-marshmalloe\/td-p\/1345136\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2GB of internal memory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their Androids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Instagram<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Spotify, the photo-sharing social media channel caches files, which is one of the reasons that the app might take up more room on your phone. Even though the more you use Instagram, the more photos will be stored, you\u2019re in luck: the app\u2019s cache <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.instagram.com\/186754094794097\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">resets weekly<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so it won\u2019t become completely unmanageable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Snapchat <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snapchat isn\u2019t such a big offender when you first download it, clocking in at around <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quora.com\/How-much-storage-space-does-Snapchat-use\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3MB to download<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, like the other apps, it starts growing and growing the more you use the app. As your cache accumulates, you might find that Snapchat uses 10MB or more of your storage space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any of your favorite apps are on this list, you might be better off getting rid of them using App Manager. A fast phone with sufficient storage space is often worth more than even the most popular app.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some apps take up so much space on your phone that you can\u2019t download all the programs you\u2019d like to.
