1. Open the Photos app on the iPhone from which you want to delete photos.
2. Select the photos you want to delete.
3. Tap the Trash icon to delete the selected photos. You can also tap Select All to delete all photos in a particular album.

How do I delete photos from one device but not iCloud?
If you want to delete photos from one device but not from iCloud, you can use iCloud Photo Library settings to achieve this. First, make sure your device has iCloud Photo Library enabled. Then, follow these steps:
1. Open the Photos app on your device.
2. Select the photos you want to delete.
3. Tap the trash icon.
4. Choose “Remove From iPhone/iPad” option.
5. Confirm the action.
By doing this, the photos will be removed from your device but will still be available in iCloud. If you want to access these photos again on your device, you can do so by opening the Photos app and downloading the photos from iCloud. This way, you can free up storage space on your device without losing your photos.
Will deleting photos on one device delete on another?
Deleting photos on one device may or may not delete them on another device, depending on how the devices are synced. If the devices are using a cloud-based service like iCloud or Google Photos, deleting a photo on one device will delete it from all devices that are synced with the same account. However, if there is no syncing between the devices, deleting a photo on one device will not affect the photos on any other device. It is therefore important to understand how your devices are synced before deleting any photos to avoid unintentionally losing important pictures. Additionally, it is recommended to regularly back up your photos to an external hard drive or online backup service to ensure that they are not lost if a device is lost or damaged.
How do I delete photos from iPhone only?
If you want to delete photos from your iPhone only, you can follow these steps:

2. Select the photos you want to delete.
3. Tap the “Trash” icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.
4. Confirm the action by tapping “Delete Photos”.
5. The deleted photos will now move to the “Recently Deleted” album, where they will be stored for 30 days before being permanently deleted.
If you want to delete photos permanently and immediately, you can follow this additional step:
6. Open the “Recently Deleted” album, select the photos you want to delete permanently, and tap “Delete All” or “Delete [Photos]” to delete the selected photos immediately.
Will deleting photos from one iPhone delete it on another?
No, deleting photos from one iPhone will not delete them on another iPhone, as long as the other iPhone is signed in with a different Apple ID or iCloud account. However, if both iPhones are signed in with the same Apple ID or iCloud account, and have iCloud Photo Library enabled, deleting a photo from one iPhone will also delete it from the other iPhone, as well as from any other device that is signed in with the same account and has iCloud Photo Library enabled. It‘s important to keep this in mind when managing your photos across multiple devices, and to make sure that you’re signed in with the correct accounts on each device to avoid any unintended data loss or deletion.
When you delete photos from iPhone is it deleted from your other phone?
When you delete photos from an iPhone, it depends on how your devices are set up and what storage options you‘re using. If you have photos synced between multiple devices using iCloud Photo Library, deleting photos from one device (such as your iPhone) will also delete them from all other devices using the same iCloud account. However, if you have photos only stored locally on specific devices, deleting photos from one device will not affect the photos stored on other devices. It’s important to carefully check your device settings and backup options to understand how deleting photos will affect your data across different devices.
Will deleting photos from iPhone still be on iCloud?
When you delete a photo from your iPhone, the photo will be removed from your phone’s local storage. However, if you have iCloud Photos enabled, the photo will still be stored in iCloud and accessible from other devices such as your iPad or Mac. This is because iCloud Photos is a syncing service that keeps your photos and videos up to date across all your devices. If you want to delete a photo from both your iPhone and iCloud, you will need to take an additional step of deleting it from the Recently Deleted album within the Photos app. Once deleted from the Recently Deleted album, the photo will no longer be available on any of your devices and will be permanently removed from iCloud.
How do I delete data from my old iPhone without deleting my new iPhone?
If you want to delete data from your old iPhone without affecting your new one, you have a few options:
1. Backup and reset: First, backup your old iPhone and make sure the backup is saved somewhere secure. Then, reset your old iPhone to factory settings. This will erase all data on the device. After resetting, you can restore your new iPhone from the backup taken from your old iPhone. This way, your new iPhone will have your data but your old iPhone will be wiped clean.
2. Manually delete data: If you don’t want to reset your old iPhone, you can manually delete data from it by going through each app and deleting all the unwanted data. This way, you can keep the apps and data you want on your old iPhone and delete the rest.
3. iCloud syncing: If you use iCloud to sync your data between devices, you can turn off syncing for your old iPhone. This will remove all the data from your old iPhone that was synced with iCloud. You can turn off iCloud syncing for your old iPhone by going to iCloud settings on the device and turning off the toggle switch for the apps or data you don’t want synced.
No matter which option you choose, make sure you backup your data before making any changes to your iPhone.
