    Everyone here is an iPhone user like you.  No one here can change anything.


    What is your issue with deleting photos?

     

    Hard to help, if you do not explain your issue.

     

    Most have no problem with this.

    Maybe you should familiar yourself with Photos app?

    To delete photos synced from the computer, select those photos on computer and then do a sync with your iPhone connected.

    I synced some photos from my computer into my iPhone using iTunes, but i can not delete some of them directly in the photos app on my phone,  i only can delete them by connecting my iPhone to my computer and then use iTunes to delete them. this design is very inconvenient, user experience is also very very bad.

The bad things should be changed. Even if it's "Apple's design".

    Simple: You got it from computer, you delete them using the computer.

    This is how the app is designed, you should change your expectation.

    it's simple for apple developer, but not simple for user,  that's why apple invent the "Hand-Off" function.

    Stop changing subject. One has nothing to do with the other.
