Free up space in the Photos app that you didn’t know you could use!
Having an organized photo library can become a challenge. And no matter how careful we are in achieving it, it can become filled with temporary images from third-party applications, preventing us from finding the images we really need and taking up valuable storage space. If this is your case, don’t worry! In this article we will teach you How to delete photos saved on iPhone from a specific app.
Many applications, such as photo editing or social networking applications, often save copies of the images we create or download. Others like Picsew and Canva also tend to keep a local copy of the images. This is done for several reasons:
- Backup: In case you need to reuse the image or share it through another means.
- Facilitate access: Being able to quickly find the image without having to search for it in the original application.
- Additional features: Some applications allow you to make further edits to the saved image.
The method to delete photos from specific applications
Find the app name in Photos
- Open the application Photos.
- Touch the magnifying glass icon to access the search function.
- Find the album for the app in question. For example, if you’re using Canva, search for an album called “Canva.” If you can’t find a specific album, look in the “Other Albums” section.
- Select and delete photos.
- Open the application Photos and tap Albums > Recent.
- Choose an image and swipe up or down. Tap the information icon (i) to view image details.
- Press “Saved from application name” next to the app icon to display a list of all images saved by that app.
- Select the ones you want to delete and tap the trash can icon.
Use the third-party photo album
Many apps create specific albums in the Photos app to organize your images.
- Open the application Photos on your iPhone or iPad and select Albums.
- Find the album that an app created and tap on it to see all of its images. If you can’t find it, tap See All first.
- Press Select.
- Select the trash can icon to delete the images you want.
Check the Files app
Some apps save their files in the Files app. Look for the folder corresponding to the application in the “iCloud Drive” or “On My iPhone” section and delete any files you don’t need.
Check inside the app
Several apps like CapCut have a specific section to manage files created within the app. Find that section and delete any files you no longer need.
By following these simple steps, You can keep your photo gallery organized and free up storage space on your device. Please note that deleting images saved by apps will not affect the original files found in the app itself. If you need to reuse an image, you can always recreate it or download it again.
