Do you have a lot of songs, videos or pictures on your iPhone 5, and you want to know exactly how many are there? You may already know how to check your available storage space and the amount of space that a certain type of media is using, but it won’t provide you with an accurate count. Fortunately there is a way to find this information that doesn’t require you to manually count everything, and you can see how many songs, videos and pictures you have on your device from one screen.
You can play and view all of your media on your TV with an Apple TV, and you don’t even need to connect any wires to your iPhone 5. Learn more about the Apple TV and see why it’s a device that any iPhone 5 owner should consider having in their home.
How Many Songs, Videos or Pictures are on My iPhone?
Note that this count only takes into consideration the number of files that are physically stored on your device. So if your iPhone 5 is set to show all of your videos, there might be dozens of videos visible in the Videos app (because it is showing Cloud videos, too) but only one or two are shown on the screen described below. So continue reading below to learn where you can find count of the different media types on your iPhone 5.
Step 1: Touch the Settings icon.
Step 2: Touch the General button.
Step 3: Select the About option at the top of the screen.
Step 4: This screen shows a lot of important information, so scroll down to see if there is anything else that you have been looking for previously, but had been unable to find. Your media counts are shown to the right of the appropriate label in the table. So, for example, you can see that I have 9 songs on my iPhone.
