If you want to make a fresh start or simply free up space on your iPhone, you can remove all photos taken on your Apple smartphone with relative ease. Your selfies, photos of your cat in a Halloween costume and all those screenshots you forgot to remove can reach the back up in seconds.
Needless to say, your photos, as well as your videos, will disappear forever. So, think carefully before you take action: do you really want to get rid of all your clichés and movies? Without further ado, let's see how to erase your photos from your iPhone. Or your iPad, the procedure being the same.
TL; DR: how do I remove all photos from the iPhone?
Remove photos from your iPhone: some detailed explanations
As you can expect, it all starts with the photo app on your iPhone or iPad. Click on the "albums" option at the bottom of it and then on "all photos" to display a complete list of all your photos.
Once you have visited your photo gallery, click "Select" at the top right. Then individually select each photo that needs to be deleted or drag your finger over them to highlight them. Once you have pressed the "trash" icon, you will be asked to permanently delete your photo selection or cancel the operation.
Return to the "albums" option and scroll the screen down to find the "recently deleted" section.
You can therefore delete all photos in the trash or restore them by selecting them individually or in full. If you decide to delete your photos at this stage, no cancellation will be possible. Make sure you are 100% sure of your choice!
Use a Mac to remove all photos from your iPhone
If you have invested completely in the Apple ecosystem and use a Mac, you can access your mobile photos from a desktop or laptop. All changes made to it are recorded on your iPhone.
So, as soon as you delete your photos via a Mac, they will also disappear on your iPhone. As long as both cameras are linked to your iCloud photo gallery.
Go to the photos application on your Mac and click on a particular photo. Then press command and A to select all your clichés. Now press the back key to send them to the "recently deleted" section on the left side of the application.
As you can imagine, you must then click on this section and select the photos again before deleting them all permanently.
And hop, all these photos are gone and you've released valuable space on your iPhone, iPad, Mac and iCloud account. All you have to do is create new memories!
