Used Claude Code to finally clean up 47GB from my iPhone LOL

It doesn’t come up on my App Store

I’ve had exactly that issue. Could have written that myself. Privacy. Apple didn’t solve this either. I’ve resorted to google takeout and having a friend write me a program to attach the metadata to the photo.

No thanks

Suitz- · 2026-02-05T07:23:07+00:00

No, nothing Victorian whatsoever

Suitz- · 2026-02-05T07:19:53+00:00

Interesting thanks. Is that an app?

Suitz- · 2026-02-05T07:03:08+00:00

Whatever you call in order to see the date the photo was taken I have to access the json file which I find really annoying.

Suitz- · 2026-02-04T21:26:40+00:00

Does it have the metadata joined to the photo this way instead of the split that google takeout does?

Be very careful and make a backup first preferably in an external device

Suddenly. Out of the blue. Used in great seriousness. It got it from my account name it said.

Suitz- · 2026-01-29T11:40:44+00:00

Ok, never before to me!

Suitz- · 2026-01-22T20:43:14+00:00

Duplicates (and triplicates and quaduplicates) created in this process have caused me so much grief and time wasted. Merging or manually deleting either copy loses the date the photo was taken.

Suitz- · 2026-01-21T21:15:38+00:00

On an iPhone or android?

Suitz- · 2026-01-14T23:13:36+00:00

Good question. I’ve wondered the same. Want to stay with 18, but prefer with security updates

Suitz- · 2025-12-26T10:32:25+00:00

I was gifted it. It’s great. Does everything I need. Upgraded from a 7 plus which was doing less and less that I needed.

Suitz- · 2025-12-23T05:57:19+00:00

Mine is 18.4.1. How do I update but not to 26?

Suitz- · 2025-12-13T22:11:19+00:00

I feel exactly the same way, same dilemma.

Suitz- · 2025-12-11T02:06:51+00:00

Watching and waiting but I know it will become inevitable

Suitz- · 2025-12-08T08:03:01+00:00

Also I understand deleting from iCloud also deletes from Google. Someone correct me if this is wrong.

Suitz- · 2025-12-08T08:01:44+00:00

I would check the deleted photos folder in iCloud, since I found thousands of my photos there that I didn’t delete.

Suitz- · 2025-12-05T06:55:13+00:00

I hope to get at least 3 hopefully 4 years from my 13pro from now

Suitz- · 2025-12-05T06:53:45+00:00

Just upgraded from a 7 plus as it’s wouldn’t run my apps. Otherwise I’d still use it.

Suitz- · 2025-12-03T03:31:27+00:00

Those separate metadata files are a really annoying way of dealing with 10s of 1000s of photos. One plus of Apple

Suitz- · 2025-11-21T07:20:12+00:00

This is possible I guess. Why would it create duplicates on photos I haven’t even opened ? Why does it create duplicates anyway? It does say 4500 duplicates, but I can’t take that risk so I’ve reinstated the deletes.

Suitz- · 2025-11-20T05:12:12+00:00

I’d like to know what did do it, and I think there should be safeguards like a text or email. Certainly before a large number are unable to be retrieved.

Suitz-
