The sheer number of new apps being released all the time is usually the reason we overload our phones and fill up their storage. Often, the only way to free up a little space on our android or iPhone smartphone is to uninstall apps and delete files.

The apps that take up the most space are usually Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat. As technology advances, devices become outdated more quickly than in the past, as apps require ever more storage space. As a result, older phone models fill up faster and their performance suffers. This leaves no room to add new apps, photos or music.

Of course, these apps also use large amounts of data, which can be restrictive for users on plans with only a few MB. However, several ‘essential’ apps are available in lite versions, which use less data and take up significantly less space on devices. We have put together a few examples below, with options available for Android and iOS users.

  • Facebook Lite
  • Spotify Lite
  • Facebook Messenger Lite
  • Twitter Lite
  • Shazam Lite
  • Google Maps Go
  • YouTube Go
  • Google Go
  • Gmail Go
  • Gallery Go
  • Opera Mini
  • Files by Google
