\nBefore you rush out for a new device with more storage, try the following tips for specific, frequently used apps. These are just a few ways to make more room on your device. If you find that you still don\u2019t have enough room on your phone, it might be time to reevaluate all of the apps, photos, music, and files you have stored on your device.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instagram
\n<\/b>This commonly used social media app is great for browsing through your friends\u2019 pictures and videos, but it can certainly take up a lot of space on your device. However, there is a way to help reduce the bulk of the app. The more that you\u2019ve used the app over time, the more space it begins to eat up. Clearing your search cache can reduce that burden on your phone. Doing this is extremely simple. Just delete the app from your phone and then go ahead and reinstall it. You\u2019ll likely have to log back in, but besides that, it\u2019s easy to make a lot more room on your device without any sacrifice!<\/span><\/p>\n

Snapchat
\n<\/b>This is another highly used social media app that can take up more space over time. In this instance, you\u2019ll want to do the same thing you did for Instagram. Simply delete and then reinstall the app to clear documents and search caches that were being stored to free up a ton of room!<\/span><\/p>\n

Google Maps
\n<\/b>While this app is incredibly useful, it can also take up a lot of room on your phone. Especially if you are frequently searching locations or saving directions for offline use, you\u2019ll notice that the size of this app is growing more. Have no fear, though, there are easy ways to decrease the storage allocation it encompasses without getting rid of this navigation app. Clear space by removing the local application caches, app data, and offline stored maps, and reset any cookies within the Google Maps app. Open the app, navigate to the menu, then click on \u201cabout,\u201d then \u201cterms & privacy,\u201d then \u201cclear application data.\u201d It\u2019s as easy as that!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
