Is your iPhone storage running low? Does your iPhone keep telling you that it’s full after only a few minutes of recording a video? Does this drive you nuts? Never fear, here’s how to extend the amount of time you can record video on your iPhone.
iPhones consistently rank among the best camera systems available on any smartphone. Every year, the camera technology in the iPhone improves, and with that comes larger video file sizes that eat into your available storage, often leaving you with less room for photos, apps, etc.
Reducing the size of your videos is one way to help solve the storage problem on your iPhone.
How to reduce the file size of videos on iPhone
When recording videos
With the release of iOS 11, Apple made the switch to the new High Efficiency Image File (HEIF) format for videos, which is a great move for storage on your iPhone as the format uses about half the space of the previous video format. However, to save the most space possible, you’ll want to adjust your video frame rate settings so that your videos will record at the most efficient file size possible.
From your home screen, go to Settings > Photos & Camera > Record Video > Then choose the appropriate resolution for your needs; the lower the resolution, the smaller the file size.
For videos you’ve already recorded
For videos that you’ve already taken, you’ll be using a third-party app called Telegram to reduce the video file size. This app allows you to select the quality of a video before sending it, which you can use as a way to compress the file. Simply select the video you want to compress and send it to yourself; then save the compressed version and delete the uncompressed video from your phone to save storage space in the difference between file sizes.
Reduce video file size using Telegram.
Once you’ve selected the video you want to compress, tap on the quality icon and select the resolution that you want to send the video at, then send the video to yourself. Once the video is sent, save the video to your phone and delete the uncompressed video from your device to free up storage space on your iPhone.
