Mail app taking up storage iphone

The pesky mail app taking up storage on your iPhone! Don't worry, I'm here to help you troubleshoot and free up some space.

Here are some possible reasons why your mail app might be taking up storage on your iPhone:

  1. Attachments: If you've received or sent large attachments, such as images, videos, or documents, they can take up a significant amount of storage space.
  2. Emails with large bodies: If you've received or sent emails with large text bodies, they can also contribute to storage usage.
  3. Unsynced emails: If you have a large number of unsynced emails, they can take up storage space on your device.
  4. Mail app cache: The mail app may be storing cached data, such as search results or email headers, which can also consume storage space.

To free up storage space taken up by the mail app, try the following:

  1. Delete attachments: Go to the Mail app, select the email with the attachment, and swipe left to delete it. You can also delete attachments from individual emails by tapping the "Edit" button and then swiping left on the attachment.
  2. Delete large emails: If you have emails with large bodies, consider deleting them or archiving them to free up space.
  3. Unsync emails: Go to the Mail app, tap on the "Edit" button, and then tap on "Unsync" to remove unsynced emails from your device.
  4. Clear mail app cache: Go to Settings > [your name] > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage > Mail, and then tap on "Show All Mailboxes". Swipe left on the mailbox you want to clear, and then tap on "Clear" to remove the cache.
  5. Check for duplicate emails: If you have duplicate emails, try deleting the duplicates to free up space.
  6. Consider upgrading to a larger storage plan: If you're running low on storage space, consider upgrading to a larger storage plan or using a cloud storage service like iCloud or Google Drive to store your emails.

By following these steps, you should be able to free up some storage space on your iPhone and keep your mail app running smoothly!
