How To Quickly Delete All The Screenshots Clogging Up Your iPhone’s Storage

Taking screenshots on your iPhone (which happens when you hold down the power button and the home button at the same time) can be a handy way to save info and share or reference it later. But all those images take up valuable space on your phone, and it’s kind of a nightmare to sift through your Photos app to delete them.

Android users have it easy; their phones have a dedicated folder just for screenshots, keeping them totally separate from other kinds of images and making deletion a snap. iPhone users, however, end up with a chronological stream of images, which jumbles together all the screenshots and camera photos. Ugh.

Fortunately, we’ve found a new app that makes sorting and deleting screenshots a total breeze. It’s called Screenshots, and it pulls out all the screenshots you’ve taken and organizes them so you can easily access, edit and delete them.

There are plenty of other apps that organize your screenshots — Screenshotter, Screeny and Sharkie, to name a few — but Screenshots outshines them.

Step 8: Tap away on the images in the folder. Before you select Delete, you’ll be given a final warning. By choosing Move, you can change what folder the image is stored in.

Step 9: DELETE EVERYTHING!!! If you’re looking for the best mass-delete method, open the All Screenshots folder. There’s no one-step trash button, sadly. Instead, screenshots are grouped by date, letting you scroll through and select and delete each grouping — until they’re all gone. Ah, sweet freedom.

For you Android users still reading (Oh hai!), Screenshots is currently only for iOS, but the app’s founder, Yue Zhuge, told The Huffington Post via email that an Android version will be coming soon.
