  • 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 Messages app on my iPhone take up so much space? I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 7. I've deleted all except 3 of my messages, yet it is taking up 1.3 GB of my phone's space. Why is it taking up so much space and how do I fix it?
  • 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?
