Free up app storage

Free up Fitness storage

Apple Fitness is iPhone-only. The official Fitness app is not on Android. Workout rings stay on your Apple Account. What fills the phone is Fitness+ workouts and meditations you downloaded for offline use. Apple documents Library downloads, not a WhatsApp-style Free up Storage list.

See how much space Fitness is using

1. Open the iPhone Settings app.
2. Tap General > iPhone Storage.
3. Tap Fitness.

Video workouts can be more than a gigabyte each. Check Fitness+ Library before you offload the app.

Remove downloaded Fitness+ workouts

1. Open the Fitness app and tap Fitness+.
2. Tap Library, then open Downloaded if you see that filter.
3. Tap a downloaded workout or meditation.
4. Tap the more button, then tap Remove Download.

Apple keeps the item in your library. Only the offline video leaves this iPhone. You can download it again on Wi-Fi. The Burn Bar is not available on downloaded workouts.

Save without downloading

1. Open a workout or meditation in Fitness+.
2. Tap Add / the plus control to save it to Library without downloading.

A saved library item is a list entry. A download is the video file. Keep the list. Drop the file after you finish the session.

Android

There is no official Apple Fitness app on Android. Skip these steps on an Android phone.

iPhone does not offer a separate Fitness cache button. Remove downloads in Library first, or offload the app in iPhone Storage if the system total stays high.

Reinstall the app if storage is still high

If you already cleaned media and Fitness still looks huge, a fresh install can clear leftover cache and temp files that are hard to reach by hand.

1. Activity rings and Fitness+ library saves stay on your Apple Account. Downloaded workout videos do not. Download them again if you still want them offline.
2. Delete the app from your phone.
3. Restart your phone.
4. Install Fitness again from the App Store or Google Play.
5. Sign in and restore from backup if the app offers it.

This often frees a lot of space. You may need to download some media again after restore.

What to do next

After Fitness is lighter, check your photo library for duplicates and similar shots. That is what Dedupo is for.
