How many photos on your phone camera roll

theresajane

To tell you honestly, I only have 9 left. I got to the point where I was annoyed at my photos for eating up a huge amount of my phone's memory. So, I decided to transfer them to my external hard drive and retain the most important pictures. Thus, making my camera roll clean. Lol.

Oh gosh, I need to take a leaf out of your book. I've been meaning to do it, just in case anything happens to my phone and then all of my pictures would be gone! I think this has been the kick I needed to get it done - I want to have only 9 photos on my camera roll too!!

Well, I think I have around 600 Pictures stored in my phone memory. I use my camera to click pictures most of the times. However, I transfer all pics to my laptop and save them there.

I don't let my camera accumulate a lot of photos. As soon as I have 2-3 GB photo, I immediately transfer my photos to my computer. I lost a lot of photos in the past when memory card crashed, therefore, I do not store a lot of photos on my cellphone. I think I have around 100 photos on my phone camera currently.

To some extent, we are doing the same. I lost so many important photos in my crashed memory card, and in a phone that was stolen.

Since then, I usually transfer my photos either to my computer and some in google backup.

Apart from the issues of being lost when the memory crashes, you will also have problems with storage when you are keeping your photos in the camera. Therefore, it is very necessary to transfer them to another device. The best place to store your photos is your computer with a backup.

Your post is a good reminder about the importance of backing things up. You just can't know when a device may just stop working, and if that means you lose a ton of photos it can be really frustrating and upsetting - like a whole bunch of memories are just gone. Gotta schedule myself some time to back up all my stuff, too!

I have a lot with pictures of the same subject but in different angle. I am very fond of editing photos so I save all of them no matter how almost redundant the photos are. Even though some people say that the photos are just the same, I find them very distinct from one another. I don't know why or maybe it's just me but some photos tell a story and some do not. That's the reason why I am hording photos.

You have almost 12,000 pictures on your phone?! Holy crud, that has got to be some sort of achievement.

I actually don’t have a smartphone at the moment, but even when I did, I never really had many pictures on it. Whether they were downloaded or taken with my phone’s camera, I think I had a maximum of like 20 photos at any given point.

Being that I use my laptop and DSLR for taking and storing photos, I never really had much of an incentive to use my smartphone all that much.

You can use and external hard drive to save your photos and free up some space on your phone. With that number of photos, I'm quite sure that it consumes a lot of memory of your phone.

Categorizing my photos is not really my strong suit. I often times put tags on them that I usually forget, and that really is frustrating. It takes ages to find a single photo. At times I even get sloppy and put several photos on the wrong folder. Then I would be too lazy to rearrange them. As a result I had several categorized folders for my photos but very very uncategorized photos. It really is a mess.

Gee, I wouldn't be able to tell if I found out about this question, let's say, a week or two ago. Now I have around 50, because I cleaned up my phone space precisely few weeks ago. We used to have a lot of pictures there. We mostly take pictures of our growing child, and it's a lot of memories, because children keep doing random unique stuff that are fun to watch and memorize.

I only have few like around 100+ photos. I just bought my phone last month that is why I only have few. But as the days go I know it will fill up all my storage.
