What is how to delete photos from iphone?

Deleting photos from your iPhone is a straightforward process, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Deleting from Photos App:

    • Open the Photos app.
    • Navigate to the album or location where the photo is stored (e.g., Recents, Albums, etc.).
    • Select the photo(s) you want to delete. You can select multiple photos by tapping "Select" in the upper right corner and tapping each photo you want to delete.
    • Tap the trash can icon (usually at the bottom of the screen).
    • Confirm that you want to delete the photo(s). They will be moved to the "Recently Deleted" album.
  • Recently Deleted Album:

    • Photos you delete are not immediately permanently removed. They are moved to the "Recently%20Deleted" album. This gives you a chance to recover them if you accidentally delete something.
    • Photos in the Recently Deleted album are automatically permanently deleted after 30 days.
    • You can manually delete photos from the Recently Deleted album to permanently remove them immediately. To do this, open the Recently Deleted album, tap "Select," choose the photos you want to permanently delete, and tap "Delete."
  • Deleting from iCloud Photos:

    • If you are using iCloud Photos, deleting a photo on one device (like your iPhone) will delete it on all devices synced with the same iCloud account. This includes iPads, Macs, and other iPhones. This is an important consideration if you only want to remove a photo from a single device.
  • Deleting from Photo Stream (My Photo Stream):

    • My Photo Stream is an older feature. If you're using iCloud Photos, you're likely not using My Photo Stream. Photos in My Photo Stream are stored on iCloud for 30 days. Deleting a photo from your iPhone's My Photo Stream album will remove it from other devices using My Photo Stream, but only if they haven't already downloaded the photo. Once a photo has been downloaded to another device from My Photo Stream, deleting it from your iPhone's My Photo Stream won't delete it from the other device's camera roll.
  • Deleting from Shared Albums:

    • If you delete a photo that you added to a shared album, it will be deleted from the shared album for everyone.
    • If you delete a photo from a shared album that someone else added, it will only be deleted from your view of the shared album; it won't be deleted for other members of the album.
  • Important Note: Always be sure you have backed up any photos you want to keep before deleting them, whether to iCloud, a computer, or an external drive. Once a photo is permanently deleted (removed from the "Recently Deleted" album), it is generally not recoverable unless you have a backup.
