Optimise iPhone storage

notahappycamper

Hi,

I've noticed lately that when I click on the photos app on my phone a message pops up telling me that space is running low and 2 options are given: to optimise storage or ignore.

I don't know why I'm getting this message as I have 8GB of storage left out of my 128GB?

Any ideas?

8gb isn't a huge amount.

8gb is only 6% of your full place left. I think that option starts at 10% left.

Yeah, I was thinking was it based on % of overall storage vs. an actual amount of space regardless of the storage amount.

120GB used on a phone ? Jasus, you must love that camera

Ha! Mainly music (50GB), photos and videos (30GB). You don't actually get the full 128GB to start with. I think a good few gig was given to system storage before I put anything on it!

Photo optimize feature will save you in excess of approx 25GB on your handset. Use it

I have 7.9gb photos and videos and it only uses 488mb on the phone.
