Apple's Photos app lacks basic sorting options for videos by length or file size, making it difficult to identify large files eating up iPhone storage. While users can filter photos, there's no built-in way to sort videos by duration or storage footprint. This forces iPhone owners to manually scroll through potentially thousands of videos to find the space-hogging ones.

Reddit user FrozenMaize created a Shortcut that automatically groups longer videos into an album, solving this frustrating limitation. The tool lets you specify minimum video length in minutes and choose an album name for storage. Users report it works quickly even with extensive video libraries, scanning thousands of files in seconds.

This workaround highlights how Apple's otherwise streamlined Photos app misses practical features that power users need. The Shortcut approach demonstrates how third-party automation can fill gaps in Apple's ecosystem. For anyone struggling with limited iPhone storage, this tool offers a simple solution to identify and remove unwanted large videos without sifting through your entire library.
