Thumbnails
Hi! If I delete a photo in IOS 15, does the phone keep a thumbnail file in the background for future use, or does it also get deleted? Does the folder take up a lot of space or need maintenance? Thanks!

Hi Rocky7958,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities with such a great question about managing your photos on the iPhone. You can get all the details on how deleting photos works in the Apple Support article Delete photos on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
Additionally, if you have concerns over the amount of storage your pictures and videos are taking up on your iPhone, you have a few ways to manage the storage. Check out the details on doing this here: Manage your photo and video storage - Apple Support.
Have a lovely weekend.
