About

More Space

More Space gets storage back from your photo library without deleting your photographs. Your pictures are stored at many times the size you actually see. More Space finds the ones that can be re-encoded smaller — near-identical frames from the same moment, screenshots, paperwork you photographed, chat media, large videos — and shrinks them, keeping the picture. Nothing is thrown away. EVERYTHING HAPPENS ON THIS IPHONE The scan, the matching, the re-encoding: all of it runs on the device. No photograph is uploaded, to us or to anyone. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to. YOU DECIDE, SET BY SET More Space never touches anything until you say so. It shows you a set, tells you what it found and what it would save, and waits. Keep it or compress it — one tap, then the next set. Skip the rest whenever you like. THE ORIGINAL IS ALWAYS RECOVERABLE When a photograph is replaced, the original goes to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps it for 30 days. Nothing is permanently removed by this app. The sharpest frame in a set is always kept at full resolution, untouched. YOU CHOOSE HOW HARD IT COMPRESSES A quality floor you control, from 70% (most space) to 95% (least). The default is 82% — no visible difference on screen, with the reasoning spelled out in plain words so you are never guessing. WHAT IT LOOKS FOR - Near-identical frames from the same moment - Screenshots and photographed paperwork - Chat app media - Large videos and screen recordings - Blurred or missed shots - Whiteboards, slides, and where-I-parked photos SEE WHERE IT IS HEADING A forecast reads the last seven months of your library and tells you when this iPhone fills up at your current rate, and how much longer compressing now buys you. RULES, IF YOU WANT THEM Set a rule and forget it: compress when free space drops below a line you pick, or get one honest notification a month with the figure. Rules only ever compress. They never delete, and everything they do is reversible for 30 days and reported to you afterwards. FREE AND PLUS Compressing duplicate sets is free, with no limit and no trial clock. More Space Plus unlocks the other categories — large videos, screenshots, chat media, screen recordings, the rest of the by-meaning groups — and lets rules run on their own.
