PROBLEM
“Insufficient storage”, considering deleting apps or content you no longer need and try again.” As it says your phone on your attempt on installing an app like Zomato.
While it may be fun to install apps, and download photos, videos, and music on your phone, it’s important to put your storage into consideration. Most of the time, photos eats a huge portion of your storage hence, the insufficiency.
