Tuesday 2nd June:
Declutter My Smartphone
Over time, phones quietly fill up with photos, forgotten apps, and files we never knew were there — and before long, everything starts to feel sluggish and hard to manage. Join us for our next free tech talk, where we’ll show you how to clear the clutter and get your phone feeling faster and easier to use again.
We’ll be covering:
- Why phones slow down — and what you can do about it
- Photos and videos — how to sort, save, and safely delete
- Apps you’ve forgotten you have — and how to confidently remove them
- Messaging apps and the hidden storage they quietly build up
- Simple steps to get started — no technical knowledge needed
It was a great talk, a lot of common sense. Regular tidying and ‘cleaning’, much the same as housework! Your talks and individual help are very much appreciated, do please keep going.
Yes, please continue sharing your knowledge. Even if people leave with only one thing that they were unaware of previously, they are still totally worthwhile – and many people learned a lot!
It’s also great to chat with the ‘experts’ following the talk about any particular problems.
Keep up this invaluable service.
I agree with above comments.
I found your talk very useful -I did not know that Whats App stores any incoming photos/videos
I have now cleared most of them
It will be a great shame if these educational talks stop

Thank you very much for the excellent Spire talk ‘Declutter your smartphone’ on Tuesday 2 June. I learnt a lot of useful tips,and took note not to try to do it all at once, and just remove a few a day. I have found every Spire session helpful. PLEASE continue with them, even if some are repeats.
Such a useful talk on Decluttering your smartphone. Please keep doing these informative sessions, we really appreciate them. Thank you very much to all your wonderful volunteers.
Thank you very much. I need all the help I can get.
Could you please help with decluttering our laptops? I expect you’ve done that session some time ago, but I guess there are enough tips on that to fill several future talks. Yes, please continue as all the sessions are interesting and valuable.
Hello Hillary, a good suggestion and we haven’t done that talk before, however is it tied into a few other subjects, I will add that to the list
A very interesting and useful talk. I have already put the knowledge to good use starting to declutter my phone. This is the first talk I have attended but I will definitely try and come to more. Please keep them going.
Very useful talk and as usual I went away learning several new things. Helpful to know the specific things such as videos which take up so much more space on our phones. Just one suggestion relating to the question and answer part of the talk can the speaker repeat the questions from the audience through their mike please as it isn’t always easy to hear the audience members? Many thanks again for arranging these sessions which are an enjoyable social event as well as educational.
