Honestly, that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop taking pictures or even slow down. No, over time we will take more and more photos. But the problem is your phone memory won’t change. Now, if you have an Android phone or an iPhone with only 16 GB of storage, this could be a problem.
The best solution is to back up all your photos to a service like Flickr, Google Photos, or Apple’s iCloud Photo Library. But that means all your photos aren’t always on your phone. If you want the best of both worlds – keeping your photos on your device while saving space, you’ll need to compress all photos. And of course, just compressing the photos and saving them won’t do you any good.
Crunch Gallery for Android and iOS can take care of the compression for you.
Crunch Library for Android
The Android version of the app is much more powerful than the iOS version. That’s because iOS doesn’t allow apps to access core parts of the OS. Android does. So Android apps can do cool things like automatically process all the photos in your library and do the same for any new photos.
When you start the application, it will warn you that after the image is compressed, you cannot get the original image back. And it prompts you to sign up for Flickr and turn on auto-upload. You should do that or use Dropbox.
Or you can use the app with Auto mode disabled. This way you will have to go into the app and tap OLD icon to jailbreak individual photos and videos. Since this is Android, the jailbroken photo will automatically replace the original photo.
The app will also show you stats on what you’ve saved. And the stats are impressive to me. On average, I save more than 1 MB per photo. This means that if you have more than 1000 photos, then you are looking to reclaim a few GB of storage space. And that’s nothing to sneeze at.

Crunch Library for iOS
As I said above, Crunch Gallery for iOS is more limited but still useful. You will have to give the app permission to access your photos. The app will then scan your storage.
Then you will have to manually select all the photos and start the data processing. But once the crunching is complete and the app has saved the crunched photos back to the Camera Roll (thankfully this is automatic), you’ll get a pop-up to delete the original photo. To really make sure they’ve been deleted, you need to visit Recently deleted album and delete all photos manually.
