5 Ways to Get More Memory Space on Your Android Device

The more you use your phone
on a daily bases, the more
space it consume despite the
facts that Android now a
days comes with a decent
memory space. The most annoying thing I bet any
android user can ever
experience either when you
want to update your app or
download a file and you get ‘insufficient memory’ or ‘Android internal memory is full’. It can be so frustrating. But there is always a way
out. The guides below will put you through on how to
get more space on your
Android device.
1.Clear Old Downloads: Every time you download a
PDF or other document from
the web it is stored in your
Downloads folder, but the
chances are you probably
don't need it anymore. If you have a File Manager app use
this to browse your
Downloads folder and delete
anything you don't need.
2. Clear Cache + Data: Cached files are little bits of data
stored by apps every time
you use them. You can do this
manually for individual apps
by going to Settings > Storage > Apps.

3. Move apps and files to
SDcard: If your phone supports sdcard, move all
your apps and files to SD card;
any or use apps2sd to move
difficult apps to SDcard. And for those using Android 6.0 Marshmallow, you can combine your SDcard memory + phone storage. See steps below;

Step 1: Make sure the microSD card is inside your Android Marshmallow running smartphone and is in working condition.
Step 2: Navigate to your smartphone’s ‘Settings’ and go to ‘Storage and USB’ inside the settings menu. Step 3: Locate your external microSD card under the ‘Portable storage’ section and tap on it.
Step 4: Post jumping in the external microSD, locate the three-dot menu at the top- right and hit on ‘Settings’

Step 5: Now here you will get four options - Eject, Format, Format as Internal and Movie Media. Choose ‘Format as internal’. Step 6: You will not be greeted by a screen saying that your microSD card will be erased completely and will
only work on that particular device. Tap on ‘Erase and Format’. Step 7: After finishing the process, your external SD card will now work as your internal storage.

4. Use lite apps: Android developers nowadays make two variants of their apps, one standard, and the other lighter, which not only consumes less cellular data, but takes up less space on your phone, too.
Some of those apps that consume space like Facebook, messenger, Youtube and opera have lite apps, consider switching to them.

5. Back up photos and video to Google Photos, then delete them from your phone: Photos and video are one of
the biggest space hogs on any
Android phone, and more so
as their integrated cameras
come with increasingly high
megapixel counts. Download the free Google Photos app from Google Play, then in the Settings menu
select to back up all photos
and video over Wi-Fi. Once
the media has transferred
you can delete them from
your phone. Well, this is just few of those
ways you can free up space
on your smart device, what is
your preferred method of
freeing up space?
