Description
Expected behaviour
The ability to customize the filename mask in the Auto upload photos settings, including the prefix "Photo" and "Video", as well as the ability to increase/decrease/remove the trailing digits just before the .jpg.
Actual behaviour
There are no options to do these things.
Steps to reproduce
Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?
This unnecessarily lengthens the file name, and it is obvious whether the file is photo or video. the trailing three digit counter is redundant as the time mask hh-mm-ss identify the files sequentially. One trailing digit would suffice to distinguish between files shot in burst mode.

Research direction
Start by locating the Auto upload photos settings and the filename-generation entry point in the iOS app. Review how photo and video names are currently formed, then define the available controls for prefixes and trailing digits. Done means users can increase, decrease, or remove those filename components as requested.
