Is possible using icloud backup feature creatively. ..


1. Go to Settings/icloud ensure that this feature is on


2. Uncheck "photos" in the Settings/icloud menu


3. At the bottom of Settings/icloud screen tap Storage and Backup


4. Ensure icloud backup is enabled


5. Tap Back Up Now


6. When backup complete go to settings/general/reset and erase all content & settings


7. Restore your phone from the icloud backup you just created


8. Everything is there as before but zero photos







5 Once back up

Yes, partially. You don't have to use iTunes, but you do have to use a computer. All you need is a Mac and USB cable. You can probably do the equivelant on a Windows, too. If you want to delete the entire mass of photos, you can open a program that comes installed on the Mac called Image Capture. In there, you can select all (command A) and click this little red icon near the bottom of the window, next to the field selecting where to save the photos. That will delete them from the iPhone, or any camera.
