How to Sort or Search Photos and Videos by File Size on iPhone/iPad.

When organizing photos or videos, it is difficult to find those with large file sizes in the default Photos app. However, with the HashPhotos app, you can easily find photos or videos with large file sizes.

Sort by File Size

On the main screen, tap the Actions Button actions button at the bottom left. Then tap [View Options > Sort By > File Size] to view photos/videos sorted by file size.
Selecting the option again will toggle between ascending/descending order.

To change the sorting option only for the album or All Photos, turn on the Use Custom Options option in [View Options > Album Options] and select the sorting option.

You can also set this in [Settings > Thumbnails > Sort in Album].
Sorting in All Photos does not apply the Global Option set in Settings
You can sort in ascending or descending order by changing the Ascending option.
