Your iPhone might be saving two photos every time you take one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If \u201cKeep Normal Photo\u201d is turned on, your phone saves both the HDR photo and<\/strong> a normal version. That adds up fast and eats storage without you noticing.<\/p>\n

How to turn it off:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Settings<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Camera<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    HDR<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Turn OFF Keep Normal Photo<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You\u2019ll still get great photos, just without the extra duplicate file.<\/p>\n

    Small setting. Big space savings.<\/p>\n

    If your phone storage is always full, stop by U Tech Care. We help clean up storage, back up photos, and keep your device running smoothly.<\/p>\n
