Is there a way to delete multiple photos from your iPhone?

I'm trying to free up some space on my iPhone by deleting photos. It is taking me forever though because I have to select them one by one to delete them and then do the same thing to permanently delete them. Is there a quicker solution?

Greetings Emmzy088,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like a faster way to delete photos on your iPhone other than selecting each one. One possibility that you may not have considered is importing your Photos to your computer and choosing to delete the items after import. Please reference the attached article for more information.
iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
Tap the Action button.
Tap each photo to select it.
Tap the Delete button.Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
Cheers,
Joe

Is there any way of deleting a photo from my iphone without deleting it from phtostream? (iOS8)

I dont have enough storage on my iphone so i used to delete all of my photos because they stayed on photostream and i could see them on my mac but now if i delete them on my iphone they get deleted from photostream as well! is there anything i can do?

upload to photo stream and back up to iCloud right from your phone ( make sure photo stream is on in settings icloud )

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

HT201077 when you delete a photo from your iphone does it delete it from icloud back up also

When you delete a photo from your iphone does it delete it from the icloud backup?

No, however your next backup will not contain the photo as it is no longer on your phone (and iCloud only saves approx. 3 older backups so the one containing the photo will eventually no longer be available). Also, a word of caution...it seems like many users end up losing some or all of their photos when restoring to their iCloud backup. To be safe, don't rely on the backup but instead import your photos (and videos) to your computer, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Navigate to the photo sheet page (the one with the thumbnails) tap the edit button in the top right corner, tap the photos you want to delete to select them, tap the delete button in the bottom right corner.

Is there any way to delete songs directly from my iPhone without using iTunes?

I'm trying to delete music directly from an iPhone 4 in iTunes on the device rather than using my laptop to delete and then sync it. Is there any way to delete music completely from my phone without using my latop?

I tried this, firstly de-clicked the title in iTunes and syned with my iPhone4 but the title is still there on the phone. so deleted the title from iTunes and re-syned but alas the title is still there.
any ideas?

Is there a way to remove many photos from the iPhone camera roll with out having to delete photos one by one? I need space, it's so full and I've opted out of deleting them when I sync them to my computer in the past.

Since I've transfered all my photos to my computer & added the files that I'd like on my phone in iTunes I'd like to delete the photos from my camera roll on my phone, but there are a lot and I'd like to be able to do it quickly. Is it possible to do this with out having to put each on into the trash on my phone?

*correction*
Arrow in bottom left allows you to multi select. After you choose your photos, you can hit the delete button that appears in the bottom right hand corner. Or, you can hit the cancel button in the rop right and not delete them

Is there a way to delete a photo from the CAMERA ROLL without deleting the same photo from an album?

My camera roll album is too big so I set up different albums to 'move' the phots out of the camera roll. After I moved photos I went to delete the photo from the 'camera roll album' but when I did, it deleted the photos from the other album I moved the photo to. Is there anyway to remove from camera roll while keeping it in the particular album?.

"Why doesn't Apple fix this ? "
Because it is not broken. it works exactly as intended.
"If Microsoft can do it certainly apple could figure it out."
Apple has it figured out. That is what is on the iphone.

Is there a way to delete all photos from phone at once, or does it have to be done individually?

How can I delele all photos from my iphone? Can I delete all at once, or do I have to go through and delete each one-at-a time? I'm trying to free space for more photos, and they are already in the cloud and on my computer. Thanks

Are these photos in your camera roll? If so, you can't delete them using iTunes, & if you've already imported them to your computer, but left them on your phone...you're not clear on that...I suspect whatever program you used to import them doesn't see them anymore...is that correct? If so, you'll have to either mark to delete one at a time, or use third-party software to delete them.

I have many duplicate contacts on my iphone and want to delete them all at once and sync with my mac that has the contacts correct. Is there a way to delete them all from my iphone?

I have many duplicate contacts on my iphone and want to delete them all and start over by syncing to my mac's address book. Is there a way to delete the contacts all at once? I started icloud and the iphone caused duplicates there also.

I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

Is there any way to print a photo from my iphone on plain paper on my photosmart plus printer?

Whenever I try to use Airprint to print a photo from my iPhone to my Photosmart Plus printer, it tries to print it on photo paper from the photo paper tray.
I want it to print on the plain paper in the regular tray.
I read online where this is possible with the iPrint app - but when I went to the App Store, there is no iPrint App. I found a sticky post here saying that it has been removed from the App Store in anticipation of a new ePrint Home & Business version that won't be available everywhere until September.
So, in the meantime, is there anyway to change the location of where the photos from the iPhone print?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

HI
Most likely their is not, as printing pictures is standard set to photopaper as you most likely need good quality. Pictures on normal paper are not considered good quaity and thus not set as standard.

If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

Is there any way I can retrieve photos from my iPhone after restoring the phone?

Hi,
Hoping someone can help!! Not a very technical person so would appreciate any advice.
I plugged my phone (iPhone 4) in to my laptop and it must have started to update to new software, anyway now iTunes doesn't recognise my phone and is telling me it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored but doing this I would lose my photos I think.
The photos I need to retrieve are only a few days old but I didn't put them on my laptop. Not sure about a backup I haven't done one but does this happen automatically when syncing and how do I find out what which photos are there?
Thanks

The update can not start by itself. It requires manual intervention.
If the phone is in recovery mode, there is nothing left on it. If you didn't have your photos backed up or synced to PhotoStream, they are gone.

Is there a way to delete multiple pictures at the same time from the iphone4s?

Is there a way to deleter multiple pictures at the same time, from my iphone4s? I know how to delete one at a time. Thanks

Open your Photos App > Camera Roll > At the top right corner you will see a rectangle with a right arrow, select that. Now you can select as many photos as you want and you can hit the red Delete button on the bottom right.

Is there any way to delete multiple spams at once, right now I go through each individually and delete it, but it's time consuming, thanks

Is there any way to delete multiple spam messages at once. Right now I go through each individual spam and delete one at a time. This is very time consuming. Any tricks out there.
Thank you

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara
