Honest Storage Report shows where your iPhone's capacity actually went β€” in one read-only report. No scare tactics, no fake cleaning, no deletion. Just facts and numbers. β–  One honest donut chart Your device's total capacity split into six parts: photos, videos, screenshots, system (purgeable caches), other, and free space. Photo library sizes are totalled item by item, entirely on your device. The chart's proportions always match the numbers shown. β–  Findings that state facts only "Videos take up 34% (22.0 GB) of your storage." Every finding is a plain statement backed by a measured number β€” never "DANGER!" or "ACT NOW!". β–  A big-file list with real priorities Items are scored by size Γ— age Γ— type, so a 2.4 GB video from two years ago outranks yesterday's snapshot. And you can see how much space you would free before you touch anything. β–  This app never deletes There is no delete function β€” the app is read-only. Deletion stays in the Photos app you already know, and we tell you upfront that deleted items remain in "Recently Deleted" for up to 30 days, so free space does not grow immediately. β–  Track your free space over time Each scan records your free space, so you can watch the trend β€” "2.5 GB more free than last month" β€” and look back through your scan history anytime. β–  Honest about its limits - iOS does not let third-party apps read per-app storage breakdowns. For the exact list, check Settings > General > iPhone Storage β€” we say so right on screen. - Sizes are displayed using 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes (binary), so numbers may differ slightly from the iOS Settings app. - All figures are approximate reference values. This app does not claim to make your iPhone faster. β–  Your data stays on your device All measuring and reporting happens on your device. Your photo library information and scan results are never uploaded. No account required. [Ads and purchase] Every feature is available to use. A banner ad is shown at the bottom of the screen; a one-time "Remove Ads" purchase hides the banner (no subscription, no auto-renewal). Showing ads requires a network connection, but your photo and scan data is never sent. Privacy policy: https://honki.ai/storage-shindan/privacy.html
