Why is it uncompressed? For speed? Is it written such that the data does not need to be serialized into RAM?

I just delete images when I’m scrolling.

I see your point but I don’t struggle enough to have a seperate shutter app that auto deletes images.

Also, when deleting a photo, it’s stored for another 30days. You can easily come back a couple of days later in case you still need the photo.
