1. A method of optimizing storage of images at a wearable device, the method comprising:
in accordance with a first determination that a first amount of storage is less than or equal to a first storage-depletion threshold:
providing an indication, at the wearable device, that a first image-management mode is available, wherein, when the wearable device is operating in the first image-management mode, the wearable device is caused to delete one or more images that are not of a predetermined protected image type;
while a current amount of storage at the wearable device remains less than a first repletion threshold that is greater than or equal to the first depletion threshold:
causing display of a secondary indication at a second electronic device, which is in communication with the wearable device, wherein the secondary indication includes information indicating that the first image-management mode is available for the wearable device; and
in accordance with a second determination that an updated amount of storage at the wearable device is less than or equal to a second storage-depletion threshold, the second storage-depletion threshold associated with a smaller amount of storage than the first storage-depletion threshold:
automatically, and without a request from a user of the wearable device, operating the wearable device in a second image-management mode, wherein when the wearable device is operating in the second image-management mode:
blocking the user from storing any additional images at the wearable device until a repletion determination is made that a respective amount of storage remaining at the wearable device is greater than or equal to the second storage-depletion threshold.
