Hi all, is there a way/app/service to see/sort my Photos library by file size? I know my kiddos have gotten a hold of my phone over the years and made 4k videos, but I can’t remember the dates.

I could search one by one thru the days of the year, but that is cumbersome. (I know it’s the last resort.) I’d love to get my (and my wife’s) Photos library cleaned up a little before “shared library” launches.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

For videos, you can go to Settings > General > iPhone storage > Photos > review personal Videos and it will show your videos in descending order. For photos, I think you may have to use a third party app, but not sure.

It's weird. I've read on the web the same steps you mentioned, but I don't see "review personal videos" on either my iPad or iPhone. Could it be because I have "Optimize Storage" on with Photos, so most of my library isn't actually on the device?

ME TOO!!! #HELP. My 2TB icloud is full. How can I sort videos by size on icloud to delete them and free up space?
