I'm at nearly 10k

What?! 10,000 photos nearly - some will be screenshots but what the hell!

48,000 going back to 2013. I use my phone to take photos for work around 30 per day and I don’t always get round to deleting them so they tend to build up until I have a massive delete session and delete several thousand in one go!

Saverage · 16/09/2023 08:18

3,000 from last 5 years. I delete regularly, and put them in albums (on iPhone). Ones from before that are on a memory stick, I don't know how to get them on iCloud with all the newer ones.

It does annoy me that there is no way of seeing in 'All Photos' which photos haven't been put in an album. I'd like them all neatly classified.

LoonyLois · 16/09/2023 08:19

23266 and 1448 videos

WaltzingWaters · 16/09/2023 08:25

5786 photos and 376 videos. I thought that was loads but having seen what others have I feel much better!

Callmemummynotmaaa · 16/09/2023 08:28

83k plus 2k videos - mostly of my kids. Stored on iCloud.

HeadAgainstWall0923 · 16/09/2023 08:31

I never have more than 250. When I reach that amount I print them all off and put them into albums.

ScruffGin · 16/09/2023 08:34

31,239! Pretty sure I'll never look through all of them 😂

AnOldCynic · 16/09/2023 08:54

@hollyblueivy, couple of links here. I only found out a couple of years ago. Same with all those saved emails.

Made me have a massive purge of redundant data on our server at work too.

This post has made me have another photo purge! I'm at circa 4k which is completely unnecessary.

grafittiartist · 16/09/2023 10:05

Too many- and am interested in err to put them- doesn't seem an easy solution.

10HailMarys · 16/09/2023 10:46

6,294

I regularly delete a couple of hundred at a time though, as I take a lot of screenshots and save pics from websites that I don’t need to keep

Oldraver · 16/09/2023 10:52

9642, mostly of the cats

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 16/09/2023 12:42

Interesting on the carbon and data storage. I'm going to spend the afternoon clearing some thousands emails, I'm terrible for that. I am in the middle of a big photo sort out, but that's a bigger job!

OvertiredandConfused · 16/09/2023 12:49

44317 - and 1041 videos

Bumply · 16/09/2023 14:49

21k photos, 2k videos
That's going back to 2004 Photos before then were physical in photo albums

wonkylegs · 16/09/2023 19:29

19,321 - I do use it for photos for work but usually take them off fairly quickly, so could be worse
Have to take some tomorrow for a project so that will be an extra 150 odd

wonkylegs · 16/09/2023 19:32

That's just the ones stored on my phone, there are more on our server & my pc.
Mine aren't stored on the cloud but are regularly backed up at home.

Are you on android? iPhone folder photos stay in your camera roll Confused

Yeah I'm on android so you can go into your files and make folders and transfer them from your phone memory to memory card. Since I had my children I have a folder for every month which all the photos go I'm.

BeansOnToast32 · 16/09/2023 19:59

Well I thought I had loads at 701 but after seeing the amounts on this thread it's pathetic 😂

I had a clear out the other day too because it felt like too many. 699 of them are probably of my dog/previous dogs.

Winnipeggy · 16/09/2023 20:06

39,935. Most since my 18 mo arrived. I'll never forget what she looked like as a baby!

marchair · 16/09/2023 20:09

17,799 photos!

Do you all pay Apple for icloud storage? Am I going to be paying £3.99 each month for storage until I die? I don't get what I should do with my photos (apart from delete some and make photo books!)

and agree we should all reduce because of the carbon footprint - the big data servers storing all our photos are very environmentally unfriendly!
