How much storage does a typical vacation take up on iPhone?

A week of shooting at default settings — 4K video, Live Photos on, shooting multiple takes — can easily generate 15 to 25 GB. A heavier trip with lots of video can push 30 GB or more. A cleanup pass typically recovers 8 to 15 GB, sometimes more.

What's the fastest way to find duplicate travel photos?

EverClean AI scans your library and groups visually similar shots — not just exact matches. This catches the near-duplicates that iOS's built-in Duplicates album misses: burst clusters, bracket sequences, and the same scene shot twice with slightly different framing.

Is it safe to delete photos from iPhone if they're in iCloud?

No — deleting a photo with iCloud Photos enabled removes it from iCloud too. The sync is two-way. Before deleting, make sure you have a second copy somewhere: on a Mac via Image Capture, in Google Photos, or on an external drive.

How do I find large video files from a trip?

Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and tap the Photos app entry. You'll see a rough breakdown by media type. You can also open the Photos app and filter to Videos — tap the filter icon in the top right while in your library.

Will EverClean AI delete my photos without asking?

No. EverClean AI shows you the groups of similar photos and you decide which ones to keep. Nothing is deleted without your tap. Every decision is yours.
