To check how much storage you have, simply navigate to Settings > General > Usage, you will see the apps using up your phone or tablet’s storage. You can move all that to PC and back up photos and videos using iCloud Photo Library.
Step 3: Enrol device: To gain access to iOS 12, you need to enrol your device, to do that go to beta.apple.com and enter your Apple ID.
