The method prescribed by the BuzzFeed works well with the 16 GB storage variant of the iPhone devices. Go to the Settings followed by General, Storage & Cloud Usage then just check how much storage you have left on the device. The test made using method was performed on the iPhone 4S running on the iOS version 9.3 and has just 563 MB left in storage.

The second step towards freeing up the device storage is to open the iTunes Store. Now carefully select a length movie title like Pearl Harbor by going to the Films section. Pearl Harbor is essentially a really large file which you won’t be able to handle at first given the low storage problem.
