How did you import the photos from your Mac to the iPhone?

If you synced the 2000 images to the iPhone with iTunes or the Finder, it is not possible to delete them directly from your iPhone. Synced photos are shown in the Photos.app, but are not stored and managed by Photos.

To delete them from your iPhone you have to sync the iPhone again with your Mac. And this time select only photos that you want to see on the iPhone. The newly synced photos will replace the previously synced photos.


Synced photos are shown in a special section among the albums "From my Mac". And when you select a synced photo you will not be seeing a Trash can icon to delete them.
