Can’t Delete Photos on iPhone

Hey there,

If your photos aren't synced to iCloud or

iTunes, but you still can't delete them, it's likely due to one of these reasons:

1. Photos Were Synced from a Computer via Finder/iTunes:

• If photos were originally transferred using iTunes (Windows) or Finder (Mac), they cannot be deleted directly from your iPhone.

To fix that follow the instructions below ⬇️:

1. Connect your iPhone to the same computer used to sync the photos.
2. Open Finder (Mac) or iTunes (Windows).
3. Go to Photos and uncheck "Sync Photos."
4. Click Apply to remove synced photos.

2.Photos Are in a Shared Album:

If photos are part of a Shared Album, they can't be deleted unless you're the owner.

To fix that follow the instructions below ⬇️:

Go to Photos >Albums >Shared Albums and check if the photos are there.

If so, ask the album owner to delete them.

If they were originally synced from iTunes in the dark ages (before iCloud), then the only way to remove them is to unsync them using iTunes.

weird…

however have you checked the shared album?

if so and the photos that you can’t delete not there then let’s try to restart your iPhone , also make sure that your iPhone is running on the latest update version ☞ Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

if you still can’t delete the photos then contact Apple Support to help you further.

Instead of unchecking "Sync Photos" and clicking Apply, you need to leave "Sync Photos" checked but select fewer items before clicking Apply. If you select a single empty Album, clicking Apply should will replace all previously iTunes/Finder-synced items by the selection (nothing).

You are welcome㋡!
