There’s a quick way to free up space on your phone without deleting apps and pics and heaven forbid, your music.

This trick was posted by a Reddit user.

According to the user, go into the iTunes Store and find a movie to rent. When you hit rent (if you have low storage) a notification will pop up saying you cannot download because there’s not enough storage. When you hit ok, the notification will go away and you can exit the app. If you double click the home button, you’ll notice the word “cleaning” above any of the other apps you have open.

This happens  because, to try to make room for the movie, your iPhone cleans installed apps to remove cookies, data and histories that you don’t need anymore.

So when you go to your storage you’ll see that space has been freed up!

We tried it! And it really does work!! 

Pretty neat, thanks Reddit user!
