How Can I Save Storage on my Phone While Scanning Photos?

Scanning photos with Photomyne is fast and addictive - which means your device storage can fill up quickly.

With Save Device Storage, your photos stay safely stored in your Photomyne account while freeing up space on your phone.


Turn on Save Device Storage

  1. Open the app.
  2. Tap the three lines (top-left corner).
  3. Tap Settings.
  4. Turn on Save Device Storage, then enable Active Space Saving.

Once enabled, photos that are safely backed up to your Photomyne account can be removed from your device to free up space.

Your memories stay safe in your account - without taking up space on your phone.
