Where Phone Storage Goes: Hidden Burst & Screenshots
When you check Settings > Storage, 'Photos' often consumes 60GB to 120GB. Find out why burst captures and forgotten screenshots are the silent storage killers.
The Invisible Bloat in Modern Phone Cameras
Today’s iPhone and Android flagship sensors shoot at 48 to 200 megapixels. A single RAW photo or ProRAW file can occupy 50MB to 75MB. Even regular HEIC files balloon quickly when Live Photos records 3 seconds of high-frame-rate video before and after every tap.
The Shocking Math of Burst Captures
When taking group photos or pet portraits, we instinctively hold the shutter down to get the perfect expression. In 2 seconds, your phone silently saves 20 consecutive images. Only one has everyone smiling with eyes open. The other 19 remain buried forever, costing 100MB per session.

You snap a screenshot of a parking spot, a QR code, an address, or an outfit on Instagram. You need it for 10 minutes. Three years later, it is still synchronizing across your cloud backups, consuming bandwidth, storage, and visual clarity.
