How to Delete Photos From an Apple Device?

Share This:

Apple devices are known for their excellent camera capabilities which allow users to take high-quality photos and videos. However, with limited storage on the device, users often need to delete photos and videos to free up space. In this article, we will discuss how to delete photos from one Apple device.

The easiest way to delete photos from an Apple device is through the Google Photos app. Open the app and select an image from the library that is also on the device. Tap the ‘more’ icon on the top right (three vertical dots). Select ‘Delete from device’ to remove the photo from your device. This will not delete the photo from your Google Photos library, and you can access it from any other device.

Another option is to turn off iCloud photo sharing. This will allow you to delete photos from your iPhone but keep them in iCloud. To do this, go to the Settings app on your iPhone, tap your name, and choose “iCloud.” Tap “Photos,” toggle off “iCloud Photos” and choose what to do with items in iCloud Photos. Now go ahead and delete photos from your iPhone as you want to.

If you want to keep the previous account’s iCloud photos safe, you can use a different iCloud account to back up the photos before deleting them on your iPhone. Alternatively, you can use a different cloud server to back up the photos before deleting them on your iPhone.

It is important to note that when you use iCloud Photos and delete a photo or video on one device, it will be deleted on all other devices where you’ve signed in with the same Apple ID. Therefore, if you want to keep the photo or video, make sure to back it up before deleting it from one device.

Deleting photos from one Apple device is a simple process that can be done through the Google Photos app or by turning off iCloud photo sharing. By following these steps, you can free up space on your device without losing your precious memories.
