In my last blog post, Win 10 Storage, I mentioned checking the amount of data space used on your smartphone. When Joyce was proof-reading the post, she suggested that, perhaps, not everyone knows how to find the data storage amounts on their phone. With that in mind, here’s how to do just that:

iPhone Storage

To check storage usage on your iPhone running iOS 13, do this:

  • Open Settings.
  • Open General
  • Open iPhone Storage

The screen that opens will look something like this:

Android Storage

To check the storage on an Android phone, follow the following steps:

  • Open Settings.
  • Open Device Care.
  • Near the bottom of the screen, open Storage.
  • A screen like the following will appear:

You can scroll down to see all the areas and apps that are using space on your phone.
