Understand what takes up space and what happens to photos when you delete them.

Check your storage, optimize local photos with iCloud and review what you no longer need.

Android

Check local storage, remove safely backed-up copies and sort your remaining photos.

iPhone

Check Recently Deleted and learn when a photo can still be restored.
