It Might Clear Up Some Storage Space (But It Might Not Be a Lot)

It’s also recommended that you turn off your iPhone when you run out of storage. Yes, it might sound weird, but it actually makes sense.

As we mentioned before, turning off your iPhone will delete some temporary data that your device was using to improve your experience. Once you turn it off, your iPhone might not need that data, which is why it gets rid of it.

The result? You may have some free storage after you turn off your iPhone. Unfortunately, it might not be as much as you think. We tried this, and our storage went from 64.09 GB to 63.81 GB, for a measly 0.28 GB difference.

Granted, the difference — at least in our case — wasn’t big enough to justify turning your iPhone off solely to regain storage. Plus, it will probably return to the previous mark the more we use it. Still, if you’re encountering a system data bug, you might find a more significant increase, so it’s worth a try. Either way, it’s an added benefit you can combine with all the other benefits on this list.
