How to Delete Shared Photos from iPhone
If you have ever shared photos with friends or family members on your iPhone and later realized that you no longer need them, you might be wondering how to delete shared photos from your device. Deleting shared photos can help free up storage space and keep your photo library organized. In this article, we will guide you through the process of deleting shared photos from your iPhone.
Step 1: Open the Photos App
The first step in deleting shared photos is to open the Photos app on your iPhone. You can find the app on your home screen, and it typically has a camera icon.
Step 2: Navigate to the Shared Album
Once you have opened the Photos app, tap on the “Shared” tab at the bottom of the screen. This tab will display all the shared albums that you are a part of.
Step 3: Select the Shared Album
Scroll through the list of shared albums and tap on the one that contains the photos you want to delete. This will open the album, showing all the shared photos within it.
Step 4: Select the Photos You Want to Delete
Tap on the photo you want to delete, and then tap on the “Select” button at the bottom left corner of the screen. If you want to delete multiple photos, you can tap on each photo to select it. Once you have selected all the photos you want to delete, tap on the “Delete” button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Step 5: Confirm the Deletion
A confirmation message will appear, asking you to confirm the deletion of the selected photos. Tap on “Delete Photo” to proceed with the deletion.
Step 6: Check Your Camera Roll
After confirming the deletion, the selected photos will be removed from the shared album. However, if you had previously downloaded the photos to your Camera Roll, they will still be present there. To ensure that the photos are completely deleted from your iPhone, go to the Camera Roll and delete the photos from there as well.
Additional Tips
– If you want to delete all shared photos at once, you can go to the “Shared” tab, tap on “Edit,” and then tap on “Delete All.” This will remove all the photos from all shared albums.
– Remember that deleting shared photos will not affect the photos on the devices of other people who have access to the shared album.
By following these simple steps, you can easily delete shared photos from your iPhone and keep your device’s storage space free and organized.
