With Apple’s own Shortcuts app, you can do endless things on iOS: from providing advanced features to directly create multitudes of cheats that would otherwise be impossible. Since Shortcuts opens the door to develop all kinds of code and programming, it is possible to get a screenshot remover. Are you also bored having to mark them one by one? Well keep reading.
“Auto-Delete Screenshots”, the shortcut that will make your life easier
It doesn’t fail: just access the gallery to come across countless screenshots among the rest of the photos and videos. As usual, the purpose of a capture is to help at a specific moment; an aid that disappears after that moment. Quite the opposite of the weight that the captures end up occupying in the iPhone’s storage.
To delete the screenshots you have to go to the photo reel, go down to the Albums tab, enter the Captures folder, mark one by one the ones you want to delete and, finally, you must click on the trash can icon. It’s not a lot of work, but you always save a lot of time by automating the process.
The shortcut in question comes to us from Gadget Hacks: it is a program created to eliminate the “screenshots” in bulk so that you do not have to do it manually. It’s fast, simple and clean: one click and all out.
If you want to make sure you don’t lose important screenshots, bookmark the ones you want to keep in the Photos app.
Let’s see how to install “Auto-Delete Screenshots“, a shortcut that will save you a lot of time.
- Go to this link from your iPhone or iPad.
- Click on the bottom blue “Add Shortcut” button.
- Access the settings of your iPhone, enter “Shortcuts” and activate the options of “Allow deleting large amounts of data“.
Once you have configured the shortcut you will only have to open the relevant application (Shortcuts or “Shortcuts”), run “Auto-Delete Screenshots” and let it find all the screenshots to give you the option to delete them at once and without marking them once by a.
