How to get back 7 GB of iPhone storage – just turn off this option
iPhone owners have discovered an effective way to free up a significant amount of storage on their devices. OBOZ.UA tells how to do it correctly.
What takes up iPhone memory?
After updating to iOS 18.3, the system automatically activates the Apple Intelligence service, a neural network assistant that uses artificial intelligence to generate images, edit text, and create emojis. However, its operation requires about 7 GB of internal memory, which can be critical for users who do not need AI tools.

How do I free up my device's memory in a few seconds?
To free up memory, just go to the iPhone or iPad settings, open the Apple Intelligence & Siri section, and turn it off. For those who want to retain some of the AI capabilities, Apple offers to selectively disable certain functions, such as intelligent message summarization or automatic text writing tools.
Which iPhones have Apple Intelligence installed?
Apple Intelligence is available only on models with powerful hardware, including the iPhone 15 Pro, 15 Pro Max, and the entire iPhone 16 line. Owners of older devices will not be able to use this technology.
Currently, Apple Intelligence is free of charge, but in 2026, the company plans to transfer advanced AI functions to a paid subscription model. Samsung is considering similar steps.
