Limited memory, especially on 16GB iPhone models, can cause issues. Common solutions include data backup and cloud storage. Yet, a simple trick exists to free up to 6GB. Follow the detailed instructions below.
Note: The instructions apply to a 64GB iPhone model with 25GB used, leaving about 30GB free.
Step 1: First, connect your iPhone to a computer via USB cable. Then, start iTunes.
Step 2: Look to the left side of the screen for the 'Summary' section. Click it, then select 'This computer' under the Backups option.
Step 3: Proceed to click 'Encrypt iPhone backup'. You'll be prompted to enter a password to continue.
Step 4: Choose 'Back Up Now'. The backup process will begin and complete shortly.
Step 5: After the data backup is finished, select 'Restore Backup'.

After completing the basic steps, your phone will automatically restart.
