Say what Optimize Storage does
Keep every photograph you have while using a fraction of the room.
With Optimize Storage on, the phone keeps a smaller copy of your older pictures and leaves the full-size original in your account.
Nothing is deleted. Open one and the full picture comes back down, which needs a connection.
Key points
- Optimize Storage keeps small copies here and originals in your account
- Opening an old picture fetches the full one back
What to remember
- The originals sit in your account, not in a bin.
- Full-size photographs live in the account, not on the phone.
Try this
Open Settings, then Photos, and see which of the two is chosen on your own phone.
