which videos are eating up the most space on your iPhone? Apple doesn\u2019t make it easy, so we put this guide together. We\u2019ll show you 3 ways to sort videos by size (and even get rid of the ones taking up the most space). We\u2019re using iOS 26 for this, but if you haven\u2019t updated yet, no problems\u2014these methods work on older versions too.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is_sorting_videos_by_size_possible_with_default_ios_features\"><\/span>Is Sorting Videos by Size Possible with Default iOS Features?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many users often search for ways to find and delete large videos on their iPhone to free up space. One often-asked question is whether iOS allows users to <a href=\"https:\/\/discussions.apple.com\/thread\/256183630\">sort videos by size<\/a>. As time goes, Apple has gradually improved file management in recent versions\u2014iOS 18 introduced some useful changes, and the public beta of iOS 26 brought more updates to the Photos app. Still, neither version includes a simple \u201csort by size\u201d option for videos, that feature remains missing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The default <b>Photos app<\/b> on iOS provides a feature to view videos, but it lacks a direct option to sort or find the largest videos on iPhone based on file size.<\/li>\n<li>Users looking to see the largest videos on their iPhone can utilize the &#8216;<b>Albums<\/b>&#8216; feature, which groups videos together, but this still does not offer size-based sorting.<\/li>\n<li>For a more detailed view of storage usage, users can navigate to <b>\u2018Settings\u2019 &gt; \u2018General\u2019 &gt; \u2018iPhone Storage\u2019<\/b>. This section provides an overview of storage consumption, though it does not specifically show videos by size.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So as you see iOS still does not offer a direct feature to sort videos by size on iPhone. However, there are different workarounds to this issue, though most of them boil down to third-party options.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"workarounds_to_identify_large_videos_on_iphone\"><\/span>Workarounds to Identify Large Videos on iPhone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since iOS doesn\u2019t include a native sort-by-size option for videos, we tested every possible workaround. Half of the methods rely on third-party apps\u2014these are the ones we recommend most, since they work quickly and require no guesswork. But if you\u2019d rather avoid installing anything, we also discuss two native tools that help you find large videos. These built-in options don\u2019t involve the Photos app, and while they aren\u2019t the most convenient, they still work in specific scenarios.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"method_1_leverage_specialized_cleaning_apps\"><\/span>Method 1: Leverage Specialized Cleaning Apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to sort videos by size on iPhone is by using a cleaner app. Why a cleaner app? Because most people looking to find the largest video files want to free up space. Since videos take up the most storage (a single 4K clip just a few minutes long can consume several gigabytes), many cleaner apps include a feature that automatically finds (and deletes) them in just a few steps.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"border-gray aligncenter wp-image-13034 size-full\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/clever-cleaner-app-store.jpg\" alt=\"Clever Cleaner on App Store screen\" width=\"1756\" height=\"1296\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One such app that can sort your videos by size is <b><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/clever-cleaner-ai-cleanup-app\/id1666645584\">Clever Cleaner: Free Storage Cleaner App<\/a><\/b>. It\u2019s a new and <b>completely free<\/b> app from <b>CleverFiles<\/b>, and we\u2019ve used it in our recent tests. Unlike many so-called &#8220;free&#8221; apps that limit features or push constant ads, Clever Cleaner offers full functionality at no cost.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s how you can use it:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You can type \u201cClever Cleaner\u201d into the search bar in the App Store, or you can go straight to its App Store page using <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/id1666645584\">this link<\/a> to download it.<\/li>\n<li>Open the app and grant permission to access your Photos library.<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13041\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/manage-access-clever.jpg\" alt=\"Grant Photos access to Clever Cleaner\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>At the bottom, you\u2019ll see four categories: <b>Similars, Screenshots, Lives, and Heavies<\/b>.

In addition, the feature interface includes a <strong>Compress option<\/strong> that lets you reduce video size by choosing a compression level. This is a great alternative if you don\u2019t want to delete a video but still need to reclaim storage space. Plus, it never hurts to have a cleaner app on your iPhone\u2014not just for large videos, but for managing other storage-heavy files as well.<\/div>\n<p><b>What other features does the app offer, and what do they mean?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Similars<\/b> \u2013 Probably the most useful feature for <a href=\"\/blog\/delete-duplicate-photos-on-iphone\/\">clearing out duplicate<\/a> and near-duplicate photos. You might wonder why it\u2019s needed if the Photos app already has a utility for duplicates, but that tool only catches exact matches. Clever Cleaner goes further, and finds similar shots, like burst shots, repeated angles, and nearly identical images. Tap <b>Smart Cleanup<\/b> to let the AI handle it automatically, or open each group and decide manually.<\/li>\n<li><b>Swipe<\/b> \u2013 Ideal if you don\u2019t want to sort images by category. The app shows all photos grouped by month. You can go through them gradually: swipe right to keep a photo, swipe left to delete it. The process feels fast and intuitive.<\/li>\n<li><b>Screenshots<\/b> \u2013 Screenshots pile up fast and often serve no long-term purpose. Clever Cleaner calculates how much space they use and gives you two options: remove them all at once or check them manually before deleting.<\/li>\n<li><b>Lives<\/b> \u2013 Live Photos consume more storage than regular ones. This feature <a href=\"\/blog\/convert-live-photos-to-still\/\">converts them to still images<\/a>, which keeps quality intact while saving space. The app shows real-time storage savings as you select photos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13033\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/all-tools.jpg\" alt=\"Overview of all Clever Cleaner tools\" height=\"1266\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"frame_bg frame_bg--primary\"><div class=\"frame_bg--title\"><\/div><b>Note<\/b>.

They won\u2019t automatically scan your system for unused data or offer bulk cleaning suggestions, but they can still help when your main goal is to locate and manage large video files. These apps mirror the contents of your Photos app, Files app, and sometimes iCloud Drive, providing built-in options to view, sort, and manage files on your iPhone. While they require more manual work compared to cleaning apps, they give you precise control over what to keep or remove.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/filebrowser-documents-manager\/id364738545\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FileBrowser<\/a> <\/b>provides a detailed view of your file system and supports sorting videos by size. In our opinion, the interface looks slightly outdated, but that doesn\u2019t interfere with functionality. You can access any storage location, whether it\u2019s your photo library, the Files app, or iCloud Drive. Once inside, you can sort files by size and quickly find the largest videos. The app also lets you delete, share, move, or manage files directly from within its interface.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13038\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/filebrowser.jpg\" alt=\"FileBrowser app showing size sorting\" width=\"511\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li><b><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/documents-file-manager-docs\/id364901807\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Documents: File Manager &amp; Docs<\/a> <\/b>works differently and fits better if your main goal is to find and delete large videos. It includes a dedicated feature for cleaning up large files. When enabled, the app displays all videos from your Photos library and allows sorting them by size, either from largest to smallest or the other way around. However, if you want to share or move these videos, you\u2019ll need the paid version. Those extra tools appear separately from the sorting function.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13036\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/documents-file-manager.jpg\" alt=\"Documents app listing large video files\" width=\"511\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"method_3_use_your_iphones_built-in_apps\"><\/span>Method 3: Use Your iPhone\u2019s Built-In Apps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The methods above already cover everything you need to find large videos on your iPhone, whether you just want to view them or remove them. Still, we couldn\u2019t skip the options that work without any third-party downloads. We know some users prefer not to install extra apps, so this section focuses on two built-in tools that let you sort videos by size using only the apps that come preinstalled on your iPhone. Just a heads-up: these methods aren\u2019t the most convenient and won\u2019t work in every case, but we\u2019ll explain exactly when they do.<\/p>\n<h4>3.1 Use the Files App (For Manually Saved Clips)<\/h4>\n<p>First method you can try is the native Files app, but be aware that this works only for <b>videos stored outside your Photos library<\/b>, such as those saved to iCloud Drive or On My iPhone. If you\u2019ve manually downloaded or transferred videos to the Files app, you can easily sort them by size.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s how:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Files app.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13043\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/open-files-app-on-my-phone.jpg\" alt=\"Open Files app on iPhone\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Go to the folder where your videos are stored (<b>iCloud Drive, On My iPhone<\/b>).<\/li>\n<li>Tap the three-dot button in the top-right corner.<\/li>\n<li>Find sorting options and select <b>Size<\/b>.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13051\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/use-filer-by-size-files-app.jpg\" alt=\"Sort files by size in Files\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Your files will now be <b>sorted from largest to smallest<\/b>, making it easy to find the biggest ones.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13039\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/files-app-result.jpg\" alt=\"Files app showing size-sorted videos\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This method won\u2019t work for videos in the Photos app, but if you store clips in Files, it\u2019s a built-in way to organize them by size.<\/p>\n<h4>3.2 Use the Shortcuts App (For Videos in the Photos App)<\/h4>\n<p>Since most videos on the iPhone end up in the Photos app, we looked for a native method that would help sort them by size, without downloading anything from the App Store. The best option we found involves the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/shortcuts\/id915249334\">Shortcuts app<\/a>, which comes preinstalled on iPhones starting with iOS 13.<\/p>\n<p>Shortcuts is a built-in automation tool that allows you to create commands based on a set of chosen conditions. It covers many areas of iPhone use, including storage cleanup, app management, and yes, working with videos stored in the Photos app. If you\u2019ve never opened Shortcuts before, the interface may seem a little confusing. Don\u2019t worry. We\u2019ve written out the steps below clearly. Follow them as shown, and you\u2019ll get the results you need.<\/p>\n<p><b>How to create the shortcut<\/b>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and tap the <b>+<\/b> to start a new shortcut.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13045\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/open-shortcuts-app.jpg\" alt=\"Open Shortcuts app to create automation\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Tap <b>Search Action<\/b>, find the <b>Find Photos<\/b> option, and select it.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13050\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/search-action-find-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Add Find Photos action in Shortcuts\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>In the Find Photos block, tap <b>Add Filter<\/b> and pick <b>Media Type is Video<\/b>.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13032\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/add-filter-media-type.jpg\" alt=\"Set Media Type filter to Video\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Tap <b>Add Filter <\/b>again and choose <b>Duration<\/b> &gt; <b>is greater than<\/b> &gt; [pick a number] &gt; seconds or minutes, depending on what you want to find (you can\u2019t directly sort by size, but longer videos usually take up more space).<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13031\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/add-filter-diration.jpg\" alt=\"Add Duration filter greater than N\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Tap <b>Search Action<\/b> again, select <b>Delete Photos<\/b>, and add it.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13049\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/search-action-delete-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Add Delete Photos action in Shortcuts\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Tap the shortcut name at the top, rename it to Delete large videos, then hit <b>Done<\/b>.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13046\" src=\"\/\/www.insanelymac.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/rename-shortcut.jpg\" alt=\"Rename shortcut to Delete large videos\" width=\"250\" height=\"541\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Tap the play icon to run the shortcut. The results will appear, showing all videos that match your conditions.

For example, if you create a shortcut to find videos longer than 3 minutes, it will ignore everything shorter. To catch other clips, you\u2019ll need to adjust the filters and rerun the shortcut.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"final_tips\"><\/span>Final Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, what do we end up with? Even with the release of iOS 26 and all the improvements it brought, the iPhone still doesn\u2019t offer a convenient way to sort videos by file size inside the Photos app. The only native place where size-based sorting exists is the Files app, and in most cases, it contains far fewer videos than Photos.<\/p>\n<p>The most practical workaround is to use third-party tools, such as Clever Cleaner or media managers, which are built specifically to identify large files and make storage cleanup easier. If you prefer to avoid installing apps altogether, the alternatives are less straightforward: you can set up shortcuts to surface longer videos and delete them manually, or simply go through your video library in Photos and clean it up by hand.<\/p>\n<p>Which method works best is a matter of personal preference. For us, the most convenient option is obvious, but the final choice is entirely up to you. Keep in mind, a single large video can take up as much space as hundreds of apps, but there are other places to look as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>For example:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/clean-junk-files-on-iphone\/\"><b>Junk files<\/b><\/a> from system processes and background tasks.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-clear-messenger-cache-on-iphone\/\"><b>Messenger cache<\/b><\/a> from apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/delete-large-attachments-iphone\/\"><b>Large attachments<\/b><\/a> from messages and emails.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/blog\/what-are-applications-on-iphone-storage\/\"><b>Unused apps<\/b><\/a> that take up storage without you realizing it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be sure to check those as well, and your iPhone will thank you with more free space and better performance.<\/p>\n<section itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><div class=\"panel-group sc_accordion_faq\" id=\"accordion\" role=\"tablist\" aria-multiselectable=\"true\"><h2 class=\"sc_accordion_faq--title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"faq\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n    <div class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"headingfaq1\" aria-selected=\"true\">\r\n        <h3 class=\"panel-title\" itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_often_should_i_clean_up_my_video_storage_on_my_iphone\"><\/span>\r\n            <a role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapsefaq1\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapsefaq1\">\r\n                How often should I clean up my video storage on my iPhone?\r\n                <i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i>\r\n            <\/a>\r\n        <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div id=\"collapsefaq1\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"headingfaq1\">\r\n        <div class=\"panel-body\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n            <div itemprop=\"text\">\r\n                It depends on your usage.
