Delete single photos in photostream

How do I delete one og more pictures from photostream?

I've already found out that I can delete my entire photostream "library".

But it should be possible to mark and delete 1 or more photos.


Does anybody know how to do that?


If it's not possible: APPLE pls. fix it 🙂



Thanks

Sorry, but your point is no defense for a useless feature. The fact that you can't delete photos from photostream means that all sorts of potentially embarrasing photos will constantly be viewable from all your devices. If your roommate decides to be a prankster and take your phone to the bathroom with him, you have NO way to prevent someone from seeing those photos on your phone/ipad/computer/every device you own without completely disabling photostream. It is unacceptable. It simply must be possible to selectively delete photos from the stream at the bare minimum.

Photostream uselessness is absolutely hilarious! Honestly, the developers thought that people would want every image acquired over a 30 day period to be synced across every device someone ownes without the ability to select, edit, or otherwise manage the images?!?!? Who would want that? I've now got endless crappy photos mixed up with a few great ones and I can't seperate the two! It took me almost two minutes of playing with the program to realize its obvious shortcomings...I would hope the writers of the software caught on as well and that leaves Apple pushing a product that their own developers know isn't ready to be pushed! And this "go use a beta version" solution is equally hilarious. What sort of obvious issues that are potentially even more damaging or infuriating are present there? Way easier to just turn the **** thing off and e-mail pics to myself.
