I'm at nearly 10k

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

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!

Thats a lot. I pay 99p and have 50gb extra on iCloud

Silly question hereBlush
i have an iphone 12 pro max - I put photos into different folders, but when you delete them from the 'main' gallery, it deletes both pics?? Which doesn't make ANY sense to me. Anyone know what to do?

That's my quandary. I want to organise my photos into folders out of the main photo album otherwise what's the fking point of folders?

70 k plus here. Cat photos, screenshots of recipes, holidays, memes. I get major anxiety just thinking about organising the fkers 😳

It's an iPhone thing. I never had that problem with android 😞

I've slowly started chipping away at deleting some but probably got rid of 500 so far.

Not many because I don’t want my stuff stored on some random computer so no iCloud.
I tend to print them off and /or ruthlessly delete ones I don’t need to keep due to storage concerns.

If you have access to a Mac, there are additional features in the Photo app (on Mac OS) that make it easier to organise your images, such as smart albums and duplicates detection.

You can also "disconnect" your photo library from iCloud if you don't want to have the library to dynamically sync across all your devices.

For example you could have a library for every year and only keep the current year sunk (sic) on iCloud.
