How to Find Largest Videos on Your iPhone — It’s Easy Now!

 

Videos and images take up a large amount of space on your iPhones.

Hence, it is not surprising that you have to clear up some storage space to install more apps.

The surest way is to delete the files that take so much space — videos included. So how do you find the largest videos on your iPhone?

 

How to Find the Largest Videos on Your iPhone

To find the largest videos on your iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Tap “Settings”
2. Swipe up and choose the “General” option
3. Press “iPhone Storage”
4. Choose “Photos”
5. Tap the “Review Your Videos” option
6. Choose a video file from the “Videos” gallery
7. Press the “Delete” icon
8. Tap “Delete From This iPhone”
9. Press the “Back” button to go back to the “Videos” gallery

Though you can go to the “Photos” app and check all the videos in the “Videos” album, this is going to take you a long time.

So if you’re short on storage space, you only have to follow these steps to find the largest videos on your iPhone and delete them.

 

Step 1: Tap “Settings”

This is the app that takes a gear shape for its icon. Usually, you’ll find this below or next to the “App Store.”

 

Step 2: Swipe up and choose the “General” option

You’ll find this above the “Control Center” option on the “Settings” page.

Similar to “Settings,” its icon also takes the shape of a gear.

 

Step 3: Press “iPhone Storage”

This option is between “CarPlay” and “Background App Refresh” on the “General” page.

Then wait for the iPhone to calculate how much storage the apps, photos, iOS, and other files take up.

 

Step 4: Choose “Photos”

You’ll find this after “Recommendations” once the breakdown of the space occupied on the “iPhone Storage” page shows up.

 

Step 5: Tap the “Review Your Videos” option

This is the third option under the “Recommendations” section of the “Photos” page.

Here you will see how much space you can free up if you delete all the videos stored on your iPhone.

 

Step 6: Choose a video file from the “Videos” gallery

Unlike on the “Photos” app, the videos on this page are arranged by their size in descending order. Hence, the first video file listed has the largest file size.

The video then opens in “Photos.”

 

Step 7: Press the “Delete” icon

You’ll find this on the page’s lower right area. Its icon takes the shape of a trash can.

A pop-up menu then opens after tapping this icon.

 

Step 8: Tap “Delete From This iPhone”

You won’t miss this as it is written in red text. Once pressed, the video is then deleted from your iPhone.

The video with the next largest file then appears on the screen. Repeat until all the video files from your iPhone are deleted.

Simply press the blue “Cancel” button if you don’t want to delete the video.

 

Step 9: Press the “Back” button to go back to the “Videos” gallery

You can then find other large video files from the ones listed. 

With these nine steps, you can easily find and delete the largest videos on your iPhone at any time.
