Two of the aspects that most mobile users pay attention to the most (or should we care more) are: battery status and storage capacity. A cell phone doesn’t do us much good if it doesn’t stay on for as long as we need it to, and usually allows the device’s storage to fill up harm your performance.
Of course, it is more difficult to fill the storage of a mobile phone with a capacity of 512 GB or 1 TB. But devices with this capacity They are usually much more expensive, many of us end up with a mobile phone with 128GB or, if we’re lucky, 256GB of storage. And what’s even worse, this phone probably doesn’t support expanding its storage using microSD cards.
Therefore, in order to take care of the storage and performance of my mobile, I usually use certain applications that allow me better understand the condition and operation of the device and offer solutions to free up storage and even save battery.
The idea of many of these applications is that the user can know the status of mobile equipment to be able to take the necessary measuresFor example, avoid using your phone for games or resource-intensive tasks when the temperature is too high, or delete large apps and files when storage space is about to run out.
Here are the apps we recommend:
Castro
Castro is a great app that offers real-time device information, including battery temperature, amount of RAM used, available storage capacity, and processor status. It also includes a widget to always have this information at hand on the home screen and allows you to export data reports as PDF files.

The application is very simple to use, with a minimalist interface which reveals information such as the SoC used by the mobile and the amount of resources we consume, information about RAM and more.

The fastest way to free up storage space on your mobile
Apps like SD Maid or the popular CCleaner can be extremely useful, but they should be used with caution. Its operation, often, is based on clearing the cache, which can be a good thing, but it depends on the cases, and on closing applications in the background, so you will consume more resources when restarting that application.
If you want to free up space because your phone only has, for example, 128 GB or 64 GB of storage, the best method is three foolproof steps:
- Go to the settings menu of your smartphone and there in the applications section, sort the list of installed applications by size and delete all those apps and games you don’t really use but they occupy several GB of your storage
- Go to your mobile gallery and delete as many videos as possible, because these are the ones that take up the most storage space. Of course, this doesn’t mean you have to lose these videos, you can save them to your computer.
- Go to the WhatsApp settings menu, then to the Storage & data section and delete the contents of the chats folder or larger groups. Trust me, you’ll be surprised at the size of the folders for most groups you’re a part of.
