Quick tip of the dayYour phone is packed with junk. I say that confidently because mine is, too. If you have an Android phone, here’s an easy way to clear up some space. You’ll actually be able to see the photos you care about. Imagine that! Open up the Files app. Don’t remember installing it? It’s a Google app you might not realize is on your phone. At the bottom, you’ll see Clean. Tap that to see a list of junk clogging up your phone — old screenshots, downloaded files and lots more. Choose a category, then hit Select files. Tap All items, then Delete. Click Confirm to finish the job.🤳 Use an iPhone? Time to enlist an app to help you clear out all the duplicates and other junk. |
