So, you’ve finally decided to move on from your ex and start a new chapter in your life. Good for you! But there’s just one tiny problem – the countless photos of them still cluttering up your precious iPhone. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! In this handy guide, we’ll show you how to bid farewell to those memories and create space for new adventures.
Sayonara, Ex-Files: The Ultimate Photo Purge
The first step is always the hardest, but trust us when we say it’s worth it. Start by opening the Photos app on your iPhone – that colorful icon with a flower-like shape. Once inside, tap on “Albums” at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Scroll down until you find an album named “Recents.” This album contains all recently added photos and videos. Tap on it to open it up and brace yourself for what lies ahead.
Now comes the fun part – selecting multiple photos at once! Simply tap “Select” at the top right corner of the screen and then swipe left or right across each row of pictures that remind you a little too much of your ex (we know they’re hard to miss!). As you do so, each photo will be highlighted with a blue checkmark.
Once you’ve marked all those unwanted memories (good riddance!), look towards the bottom left corner where three dots are waiting patiently for their moment in the spotlight. Tap on these dots and select “Delete [X] Photos,” where [X] represents how many pictures have been selected.
A Clean Slate: Emptying Your Recently Deleted Album
You might think you’re done, but hold your horses – there’s one more step to ensure those ex-files are gone for good. Head back to the Albums screen and scroll down until you find an album called “Recently Deleted.” Tap on it, and voila! You’ll be greeted with a collection of photos that have been given a second chance at life.
Now, tap on “Select” once again (you’ve become quite the pro at this!) and choose “Delete All” at the bottom left corner of the screen. Confirm your decision by tapping “Delete [X] Photos,” where [X] represents how many pictures are waiting to be permanently erased from existence.
A New Beginning: Embracing Fresh Memories
Congratulations! You’ve successfully bid farewell to all those unwanted memories and made space for new adventures in your iPhone gallery. Now is the perfect time to fill it up with snapshots of beautiful sunsets, mouth-watering meals, or even just silly selfies with friends who always have your back.
Remember, deleting these photos doesn’t erase the experiences or lessons learned – it simply allows you to move forward without constantly being reminded of what once was. So go ahead, take control of your digital world and create a gallery that reflects who you are today!
