Freeing up storage space
As you use HTC U12 life, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are some
tips on how to free up phone storage space.
Manage photos and videos
§ After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest, if you don't
need them.
§ After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. Delete original files or
move them elsewhere, such as to your computer.
§ If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video takes up
more space.
§ Turn on Storage manager to help handle old photos and videos on your phone.
Remove or disable apps
Uninstall apps that you've downloaded if no longer need them. See
Preinstalled apps can be disabled when you're not using them. See
Manually free up space
On the Storage screen, tap Free Up Space. The phone then checks the phone storage and then
suggest items that you may want to delete.
Types of storage
Starting from Android 6.0, there have been some changes on how and where downloaded apps and
their data can be stored.
Phone storage
This is the internal storage which contains the Android system, preinstalled apps, email, text
messages, and cached data from the apps. You can also install apps that you've downloaded and
capture photos, videos, and screenshots to this storage.
Storage card
Use your storage card as a removable storage to store and access your media and other files on HTC
U12 life or any Android phone, or set it up as an extension of the internal storage. See
the storage card as removable or internal storage?
