The iPad’s storage settings can tell you what apps are taking up the most storage space and show you how much space photos and videos are using. Then, it’s easier to clear storage on your device.

How to View and Clear Storage on Your iPad

It’s easy to check out how your iPad storage is allocated and then clear up some space.

More Tips to Free up Storage Space

One easy way to free up storage space is to install Dropbox, Google Drive, or another cloud storage service. You can then move some of your photographs or home videos to the cloud drive. When you want to watch videos, stream them from your online storage without taking up space on your iPad. Stream music and movies you purchased on iTunes from your desktop or laptop PC using Home Sharing. You’ll need to enable Home Sharing on your home PC for this to work. To save more space, consider using a streaming music service like Pandora, Apple Music, or Spotify instead of keeping full song downloads.
