An Easy Trick to Instantly Free Up Space on Your iPhone

This is a simple trick you can use to increase the memory of your iPhone.

Running low on space on your iPhone? Just rent a movie on iTunes and get a few gigabytes of space on the iPhone.

Owners of the iPhone — especially the 16 GB variety — know this scenario all too well: you try to take a photo or download an app and receive this dreaded message: “There is not enough available storage.”

Naturally, the first instinct to delete photos or apps to free up space for more stuff. But a new trick has surfaced that can free up iPhone storage space without requiring users to delete a thing..

After installing a few apps and storing photos, music and videos, a user normally runs out of storage.

According to a thread on Reddit, there is one crazy trick you can try to reclaim some of the used-up space.

Follow the following steps carefully

The trick involves renting a movie from iTunes. To see how the trick works,

Go to Settings > General >About and scroll down to Available.

Check how much storage is left and then head to the iTunes Store.

Search for a film which is bigger than the space left on your phone. For example if the available space is 4GB, choose a movie whose file size is greater than 4GB.

Then click Rent at the top of the page. The user will not be charged as the phone does not have enough space to download it and a message will appear saying You don't have enough available storage.

After clicking OK, head back to settings and check your available storage again. A significant increase in the available storage space should be visible.

You can repeat the entire process a few times.

"As of now, it's unclear on how the trick works, but it probably has got to do with some cache and other storage from apps getting cleaned up," the report said.
