Big Files
Free space rarely comes from deleting a thousand small photos. It comes from a handful of large ones — a forgotten 4K clip, a Live Photo pair, a downloaded meme that landed in your library. Big Files puts those items first, so the biggest wins are the first thing you see.
Largest items, ranked
After the scan, Big Files lists your photos and videos sorted by file size, largest first. Each item carries its size, its capture date, and where it sits in your library, so you can tell at a glance whether it is a memory worth keeping or a heavy item that has outlived its purpose.
Why the biggest files matter
Storage pressure scales with file size. Removing a hundred 2 MB photos frees 200 MB; removing one 2 GB video frees ten times that. Reviewing by size means every tap you make has outsized impact — and the time spent on each decision stays low because the list is short.
Built for heavyweight items
Big Files works especially well on the items that other views bury: long videos, Live Photo originals, downloaded files saved as photos, screenshots of high-resolution content. These are the items that quietly eat the most space, and they are the ones this view is built around.
Nothing uploaded, nothing auto-deleted
The list is built from local library metadata. File sizes and capture times are read on your device, no thumbnail or video frame leaves your phone, and removal still goes through the system photo library with your confirmation.
