Our family's shared iCloud crossed 40,000 photos and videos this year. It felt like my options were to keep increasing our cloud storage plan or pay for apps with short free trials that turn into subscriptions.

I haven't developed anything for iOS since the Objective-C days, so I decided to learn a new stack and solve a personal problem.

Goal: build a daily habit of cleaning up my photos and videos, reviewing each one to make sure I don't lose something valuable.

The app is Photo Syft and is currently available on iOS. The idea is to sift through a small batch of your camera roll every day.

Each day you review every photo or video captured on that same date across different years. So far it's been nice revisiting family moments… less nice: 10 photos of the car part I was replacing in 2022. In the past two weeks I've freed up 996MB of storage!

Free trial, no ads, pay once, no subscriptions, no account, no analytics, no uploads.

Would love honest feedback and thoughts.

As the title suggests. My phone last Saturday took 430 of my oldest photos and sent them to the recently deleted folder saying there’s only 7 days left until they are permanently gone. At first I thought my finger just slipped and selected a bunch when I didn’t mean to, so I recovered all
of them.

Well 2 hours ago it did the same thing; the same 430 photos were randomly moved to my recently deleted folder with 3 days until they are wiped.
I have 7 GB left in my iCloud storage. 43GB used out of 50

After doing some research, my main theory is that iCloud (or my regular storage) doesn’t have enough space for all of those photos so it’s throwing them into my recently deleted so it will be removed in those three days.

I was just wondering if there is any reason specifically as to why this is happening and to ensure it dosent happen to say; the next 400 photos. If there isn’t any simple fix, my last resort will be just putting those photos onto a flash drive.

Verification codes cannot be sent to this phone number at this time.
Please try again later. This is the message I get for the past few days, I can’t login to my iCloud I contacted support, I called them and nothing got fixed.

Hola se puede sacar el correo de un iPhone con icloud ?
Tengo uno que está bloqueado con iCloud

out of nowhere, my girlfriend's phone automatically sent the same copy and pasted message to a variety of numbers in the australian region, even though we are both in algeria. and with that came the loss of her icloud account and losing access to her photos and such. she changes her email password but cant recover her icloud since apple denies any attempt. what can I do? I would appreciate it if anyone whos an expert or good with this kind of stuff to message me

Ok so I seen a bunch of post saying how to remove the WhatsApp data that in on there account and I have followed all the steps from 3 different phones, 4 different iPads and 2 MacBook’s and no matter what that data never gets deleted. I’ve done the turning off the WhatsApp data thing from the app. Also tried deleting from all the devises mentions and nothing ever happens. Is there anything that has actually worked that maybe someone in my shoes has experienced and then did and special thing to do that actually worked on removing that data???

So 6 months back
I took family subscription for iCloud+ with randoms

We are 6 people sharing 2TB space and one of them is ex of my best friend

Now i want to get off that plan and buy my own plan individually

But I’m scared if i get off this iCloud+ subscription to get another, i will loose the data that i already have in this current icloud plan

What to do??
And How 🥲
