This would imply deleting photos does not increase free space which is empiracally false.
While unfortunately the iPhone's filesystem is heavily abstracted, Photo's is just a frontend for files AFAIK.
- joshstrange 2y agoNo, what I understand is it’s a case where you saved an image to Files, then imported the picture into Photos or just resaved the image directly to Photos. Then deleted it in Photos only, the Files version was still there.
- luyu_wu 2y agoAt least on Android (where I have a lot more expertise), Photos are detected by Gallery which quite literally is just a frontend with nice thumbnails. Are you sure manually importing from files to gallery is a behaviour that exists? I definetly may be misremembering iOS behaviour!
- joshstrange 2y agoYou can import pictures and video from the Files app to Photos app using the “Share” functionality, there is a “Save Image” option in the share sheet that adds it to Photos.
