There's a lot of apps I don't use on my phone. There's an option to compress an app.

Will that save some storage space on the phone? There are a few apps that allowed me to uninstall them. Just needing information about compressing apps. Thanks.

I'm a PC guy and don't use cell phones much.

But, it would be good to explore removing apps you don't use or need or that aren't needed for your phone's functionality which will save storage space

Also, depending on your phone's capability you should be able to put in a large memory card like 32 GB or larger and then change your phone's settings to use the memory card for storage instead of the phone's internal storage

This can greatly increase storage space on your phone.

I've never bookmarked any of them, but I've seen discussion forums out there for all the major cell phone manufacturers so this may be another option to learn more about tweaking your phone for better performance and security

Thanks. I did uninstall a few apps that let me do that. But the other apps are bloatware apps.... people cannot uninstall them even if unused.

I never have used a memory card. Perhaps I can check that out in the future if needed. Forums about the phones are a good idea.
