Your device comes with a limited amount of storage for your apps, photos, videos, music and more. Thus, you should keep an eye on how much space is available on your iPhone 18 Pro. You should also be aware of how much space each app uses. Usually, checking your storage details on iOS is pretty straightforward.
On your iPhone, you can go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage to learn a lot about how your iPhoneās internal memory is being used. This screen will let you do many things, for example:
- You can view how much storage your content takes up. Your content is divided into different categories, such as apps, media, mail and more. It can be very important to know these so that you can keep your iPhone up-to-date and running smoothly.
- You can offload or delete an app.
- If iOS detects there are ways to optimize the storage, you can see the recommendations. These recommendations usually include ways to free up space.
Recently, I had this particular problem. Whenever I wanted to review my iPhone storage, I could not check it because the screen was blank, and nothing showed up when I went to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. All I saw was a loading screen with two spinning wheels. The screen also said, ācalculating category sizes.ā Thus, I was not able to see the storage details. You may also experience this issue. This screen may take a long time to load. This article explains how you can fix this if you are having the same problem.
Please note that it can take a while for this screen to populate if you have a large amount of content. Simply keep your device unlocked and wait. If it is taking too long, see the steps below:
Update and Restart
- Ensure that your device is running the latest version of iOS. You can check if there is an update by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
- After ensuring you are running the latest software, restart your iPhone 18 Pro. After restarting, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Does it work now?
Force restart and then check the storage
- Press and quickly release the volume up button. Press and quickly release the volume down button. Press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the side button.
