Kill Storage

Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to its intriguing and slightly mischievous premise of "killing" storage space, combined with a clear demonstration of a functional, albeit potentially dangerous, app. The creator's direct explanation and warning also add a layer of engagement and perceived authenticity.

Summary

The video demonstrates an iPhone app called "Kill Storage" that fills up storage space by generating numerous dummy GIF files. The creator explains how the app works and shows the resulting "annoying" files in the Files app, highlighting its potential for pranks but also warning about its dangerous nature if misused, particularly if saved to iCloud Drive.

Product placement

Kill Storage (app): ACTS - it generates dummy GIF files and stores them on the phone to fill up storage space. Removing it would change what happens in the video. iPhone (device): APPEARS - it is the device on which the app is demonstrated. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Max's Apps #55 Kill Storage I MADE AN STORAGE SPACE ON IT'S CALLED KILL STORAGE. HERE'S HOW YOU CLICK IT YOU HOW MANY GIGABYTES YOU WANNA FILL UP AND THEN IT'S A LITTLE WHILE. WHAT IT'S DOING IT'S GENERATING DUMMY, ACTUALLY GIF FILES, AND THEN STORING PHONE. SO NOW I HAVE 2 GIGABYTES LESS STORAGE ON MY IPHONE. YOU WHAT IT TO THE FILES ON MY IPHONE, THERE WILL BE A FOLDER CALLED ANNOYING. COPY OF THE SAME 71 MEGABYTES, FILE OVER AND OVER AND OVER UNTIL IT REACHES THE GIGABYTE AMOUNT THAT YOU WANTED. SO THIS IS TWO GIGABYTES WORTH OF ANNOYING, USELESS GIFT FILES. GENUINELY DANGEROUS APP BECAUSE YOU CAN EASILY DELETE THE ACTUAL FOLDER TO GET STORAGE SPACE BACK. BUT IT COULD GOOD PRANK. IT IS TECHNICALLY JUST A SHORTCUT DOWNLOAD. TO THE INTERNET. IT JUST GENERATES A FILE OFF 64 ENCODE AND IT SAVES IT ON YOUR IPHONE. WHAT YOU REALLY DON'T WANNA GO AND GO TO OUR ICLOUD DRIVE TO SAVE IT. BECAUSE I ACCIDENTALLY SAVED IT DRIVE AT FIRST, AND, UH, OF MY CLOUD STORAGE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. SO YOU GOTTA REALLY INTERESTING LITTLE CONCEPT. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT IT DONE IN THE COMMENTS. CAREFUL WITH IT.

I made an storage space on it's called Kill Storage. Here's how you click it. You how many gigabytes you wanna fill up and then it's run for a little while. What it's doing right now is it's generating dummy, actually GIF files, and then storing them on your phone. So now I have 2 gigabytes less storage on my iPhone. Let me show you what it does on the inside. If we go to the Files app on my iPhone, there will be a folder called annoying. If you go inside of that, there's just a copy of the same 71 megabytes, file over and over and over until it reaches the gigabyte amount that you wanted. So this is two gigabytes worth of annoying, useless GIF files. It's not a genuinely dangerous app because you can easily delete the actual folder to get storage space back. But it could make for a good prank. It is technically just a shortcut download. To the internet. It just generates a file off base64 encode and it saves it on your iPhone. What you really don't wanna go and go to our iCloud Drive to save it. Because I accidentally saved it drive at first, and, uh, of my cloud storage almost immediately. So you gotta be careful with it. It's a really interesting little concept. Let me know if you want it done in the comments. Be careful with it.
