Share This:

IOS devices are great for sending and receiving large attachments, but it can be overwhelming if you don’t keep track of them. Fortunately, iOS has a feature that allows you to review large attachments and delete them in bulk if necessary. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how to use the “Review Large Attachments” feature on your iPhone or iPad.

First off, open the Settings app and tap on “General.” From there, select “iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch Storage.” You’ll be taken to a page that shows how much space is being used by different kinds of files on your device.

Scroll down until you see the option for “Messages.” Tap on it and you will be taken to a page with two options: “Auto Delete Old Conversations” and “Review Large Attachments.” Tap on “Review Large Attachments” to view any large files that have been sent or received in your messages.

You will now see all of the images and videos that have been sent or received as part of your messages. To delete them in bulk, tap “Edit” at the top right corner of the screen. Now you can select any of the images or videos in this list and they will be deleted from your device when you hit “Done.”

You can also turn on Mail Drop for large attachments at the top of the Mailboxes list if you want to send larger files without having to worry about storage space on your device. To do this, go back into Settings > Mail > Preferences > Composing > Use Mail Drop when sending large attachments > Done.

By using this method, you can easily review large attachments and delete them in bulk if necessary to free up space on your device. This is especially useful if you receive a lot of messages with large attachments such as photos or videos as it helps keep your device running smoothly without having to worry about deleting individual items one at a time!

Reviewing Large Photos on an iPhone

To review a large photo on your iPhone, first, open the Photos app. You can find it on your home screen or in the App Library. Once you’ve opened the app, select the photo you want to view.

Limitations of Deleting Large Attachments on an iPhone

Large attachments can take up a lot of space on your iPhone, so Apple has put a limit on how much space you can use to store attachments. To make sure that you don’t exceed this limit, you can’t delete large attachments directly from your iPhone. Instead, you need to go into the Settings app and select General, then iPhone Storage. Tap Edit and select the attachments that you want to delete and tap on the trash icon in the top right corner. This will allow you to delete large attachments and free up some much-needed space on your iPhone.
