App data, pictures and videos as well as files can take up a significant amount of storage on your device. If the storage fills up too much, this can lead to the device slowing down or apps not being able to update or install.
Here are some tips to free up storage on your device.
SD Card:
You can use an SD card to expand the storage of your device.
Note: You will be prompted to format the SD card to use it in the phone. We advise to format it as portable storage, so you can set the SD card as a storage location in apps (camera app, navigation apps, ...).
Delete apps you no longer need or use
You can free up storage by deleting apps you no longer need or use.
1. Open the Google Play Store app. Ensure you're on the homepage of the store and logged into your Google Account.
