iPhone storage full? What to delete first
Empty Recently Deleted, then large videos, duplicates, screenshots and message attachments. The order that frees the most iPhone space with the least regret.
What counts as “sent to you”?
Images and videos that entered your library from a messaging app or a download, rather than from your camera. DustFox lists them separately, so a thousand forwarded images never get mixed up with your own photos.
How is the source recognised?
By the file name that the app left behind. WhatsApp names its images like IMG-20240115-WA0012.jpg, Telegram starts with telegram, and other apps leave their own traces. DustFox recognises WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Snapchat, Viber, Signal, WeChat, LINE, Discord and Threema, plus images saved from the web.
There is an honest limit: an app may save images to Photos under a generic name such as IMG_0001, and then the source cannot be known. In that case DustFox leaves the photo out of Sent to You rather than label it wrongly.
What can I do with the list?
Filter by app and by month, see how much each takes, and select what goes. When the same image came in more than once, Select extras picks the repeated copies and keeps the largest.
What is the Group Bill?
A share card that adds up everything your chats sent you, with the space it takes. Like the Gallery Report Card, it holds only numbers.
