Why are me photos talking up so much space on my iPhone 4?

I only have 98 photos on my I phone 4 and it says I've used 2.8 gb and I don't have photo stream enabled so that can't be the problem Help!

Does it say that all the 2.8 is used only on photos? If not then its probably through apps and stuff. But if it all on photos then i suggest calling or going to a store which your phone plan goes through. (t mobile verzon at&t)

Are these photos from your dslr camera that have been edited on your computer, or are they pics snapped from the iphone?

I have some photo files that are 2gig in and of themselves, so if you are talking about files from a regular camera that have been edited and then put on your phone, that may not be overly surprising. In fact, the folder I'm in right now has 68 files and its at 9g

I'm not sure what could be happening if these are pics snapped from the iphone. I have every pic I have ever taken over two iphones in one folder on my comp. 3600 pics and that folder is only 6g and all the pics are kb size files

oh, good thought on the next post. Are you sure you are looking at the amount of photos or the total amount of data on your phone?

  • Why does some of the photos that I take with my iPhone 6 so much bigger than the other photos? I didn't change any of the settings in my phone as I have been taking one photo after the other. I don't think it is a burst shot either because I do not hold the capture button for long. So I'm expecting all photos to be relatively the same. Some photos even reached 200MB! I'm puzzled atm…
  • Why does my small amount of photos take up so much space? On my iPhone 7, I have only 76 pictures/videos. When I click manage storage, it says that they take up 1.3 gb of space, while my friends have hundreds of photos but when they click manage storage, it only takes up a couple hundred mb. Why do the photos take up so much space on my phone or how can I fix this problem?
  • Why does my photos take space on my iPhone? I noticed my photos took 3GB of space so I deleted them all. I go check my space again and it says my Photo Library takes 1.8GB
  • Why does my iphone say my photos take up so much space? I have only like 300 photos in my iphone and it still says that it takes up 4GB and its frustrating since i've already deleted over 700 photos and my phone still does indicate much change of my storage space. Could it be that there's some hidden location all my photos have been saved or something?
