  1. Apr 12, 2015  When I connect my phone to iTunes the storage bar says I have 1323 photos (3.27GB) on the phone. When I use the Settings app on my phone (under Settings - General - Usage - Manage Storage) the 'Photos and Camera' app is apparently taking up 3.2GB of space, by far the biggest consumer of space on my phone. It's driving me crazy.
  2. Jul 31, 2016  The mail app wants to cache every single email and attachment you’ve ever received offline. This could take up tens of gigabytes of space if you have a lot of emails. On a Mac with a large hard drive, this isn’t a big deal. But, on a MacBook with 128 GB of solid-state drive space, this can be a significant waste of space.

In this post, we have listed both the ways for you to find out what’s taking up so much space on your Mac. How To See What’s Taking Space On Mac Manually?

When you buy your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, it comes with a set storage capacity ranging from 16 to 512GB for iPhone, 16GB to 1TB for iPad, and 8 to 256GB for iPod touch. The music you buy, the apps you download, the photos you take, and all of the other content that you enjoy on your device uses its storage. And depending on the size of your capacity and how much content you have, your device can fill up and run out of storage. When your device is full, you can’t increase its storage. But you can free up space.

See how much storage you have

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Tap [device] Storage.

You might see a list of recommendations for optimizing your device storage, followed by a list of installed apps and the amount of storage each one uses. Tap an app's name for more information about its storage.

If you're using iOS 10 or earlier, below Storage, tap Manage Storage to see which apps take up the most space.

Free up space on your device

You can make storage space available on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when you use iCloud Photos and turn on Optimize Storage. Or you can remove content from your apps—like photos, music, and Podcasts—or delete the apps that you're not using.

iCloud storage

When you set up iCloud, you automatically get 5GB of free storage. You can use that storage space to back up your device and to keep all of your photos, videos, documents, and text messages securely stored and updated everywhere. Depending on the size of your backup and the amount of content you keep in iCloud, you might run out of free space. You can make room when you buy more iCloud storage or when you delete content.

Why Do Apps Take Up So Much Space On Mac Youtube

I have a total of 29 apps on my iPad 2, and that's INCLUDING the 20 default apps I can't erase.
I've only gone out of my way to download 9 other apps: iBooks, iHeartRadio, Netflix, Nook, Kindle, Sudoku, Goodreads, Comics, and Camera+.
I mainly use my iPad as an ereader, so I basically use iBooks 90% of the time. I also have a subscription of The New Yorker, which is in Newsstand, along with The New York Times (which was there by default).
And yet this is all the space they take up:

Isn't that a LOT of space being taken up by just a few additional apps? I know people who have pages and pages of apps, but I barely have the second page filled!
Before all this, I tried erasing about five other applications that I never used, yet the memory stayed exactly the same.
I was going to add my music library to the tablet, but then it went way over capacity (I have 1,329 songs).
Does anybody know why my apps are taking up so much room?
Edit: By comparison, my iPhone 4S has 48 apps, and this is the breakdown:

Both my iPad and iPhone have 16GB. I just don't get why the apps are taking up so much space on the tablet and so little on the phone.
