The article discusses two built-in iOS settings that can help users free up significant storage on their iPhones. The first method involves optimizing photos and videos already stored on the device. By default, every photo or video taken is saved in full resolution on the device. Users can optimize these files by going to Settings > Photos and toggling on Optimize iPhone Storage. This transfers full-resolution photos and videos to iCloud, while smaller, lower-resolution versions are kept on the device. Users can access higher-resolution files via the Photos app and a decent internet connection. The second method involves upgrading iCloud storage. Users can upgrade to 50GB for a dollar a month, or choose larger plans of 200GB for $3 a month or 2TB for $10 a month. Upgrading to any paid iCloud subscription also gives access to iCloud+ features like iCloud Private Relay and Hide My Email.
