Don't have enough space for iOS 8 update? Try This Instead.

It's not an ordinary smartphone day for iOS users as Apple releases their newest software update, iOS 8, for selected iPhone, iPad and iPod devices starting today. The operating system contains nifty updates and couple of new features for every user to enjoy.

Some of these features are the predictive typing for the Quicktype keyboard, the new Health app, iCloud Drive, Continuity for enhanced iOS device connections, easier notification response, and family sharing. With these updates comes a respective downloadable file and it requires you to free some space before you update. But before that, here's a list of compatible devices:

• iPod Touch 5th Gen
• iPad 2
• iPad 3rd Gen
• iPad 4th Gen
• iPad Air
• iPad mini
• iPad mini Retina
• iPhone 4s
• iPhone 5
• iPhone 5c
• iPhone 5s
• iPhone 6
• iPhone 6+

Going back, updating your device Over-The-Air (OTA) may be a bit hassle for the following reasons:

1. Slow/intermittent internet connection
2. Not enough space or storage

For the first entry, you do need to have stable internet connection for a smooth updating. If not, you may face an error occurred downloading OS or the progress bar stops moving. So, be sure to have a steady connection, and that's commonly found at home. :) 

If you're facing the problem with not having enough space in order to update, you may erase those big files on your device first or back up them then download, then apply. Otherwise, the best solution is to use your iTunes. Update your iTunes to the latest version and click Check for Update on the Summary.

Also, be sure to upgrade not when your battery is low. And avoid downloading other items simultaneously with the update if you're doing it OTA. Enjoy.
