### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

While it may seem strange that your new iPhone would **run out of storage** space so quickly, there are a few variables that may cause this to happen. Insufficient memory on the phone is typically linked to performance difficulties like **freezing, system crashes, and unpredictable restarts**, so it wouldn't hurt to check the storage space on your smartphone. Here's how to look at it: \

1. From the Home screen, **choose Settings.**
2. Select **General.**
3. **Select iPhone storage** from the menu. After that, you should get a screen with information on how much storage space is being utilized out of the total available.

You may **delete unnecessary stuff** from the smartphone, such as undesired applications, music, outdated messages, images, and movies if you need more space.
