How can I delete photos form my iPhone?

I have same problem after downloading OS6. When I try to delete photo from existing gallery, or gallery, there is no way to do this. I can only rotate photo, crop it or move to slide show (most nonsense future for a phone). Apple team- some advice what to do? How to return to former functionality (OS5)??? For me (Art gallery) it is extremely important.

Have you tried tapping on the edit button when you are in the camera roll and then selecting the pictures you want to delete and tapping the delete button in the bottom toolbar.

Or if you are viewing individual photos you should be able to bring up the bottom toolbar by tapping on the picture. Tapping on the trash can in the toolbar should delete the picture.

I believe if the photos were synced to the device from the PC, they cannot be deleted on the device itself. These can only be deleted by removing them in iTunes, then syncing the device.

Only photos taken with your iPhone, copied from websites or other locations or received in emails can be deleted directly on the iPhone (or iPad).

Photos in albums that were placed on the iPhone via a sync are deleted by doing another sync after you have deselected the albums in iTunes on your computer. To delete individual photos from albums you must move those photos out of the albums on your computer before doing the sync.

Looks like very limited functionality of the OS6 for everybody using albums for other purpose then camera roll (boyfriend/girlfriend/beach/family reunions). Now when I synchronized iPhone with my desktop using cloud backup I get about 900 photos of my photographs before processing, after, "orphans", TIFF, PSD large photo files etc which I never intended! I need only fraction of this clogging memory of the phone! I need instant access to photos grouped in galleries, but every time I need to make change I will need to run to my desktop? No way. I will give this wonder of technology to my niece for her to scratch photographs of consecutive boyfriends, and will look up for other device for myself.

The way to prevent all those photos from going to iPhoto is to separate them into different albums in iPhoto on your computer. Or if you don't use iPhoto put them in different folders within one main photo folder. THen when you sync your iPhone to your computer use the check boxes to select only those folders(albums) that you want on your iPhone.

This process is not new for iOS 6. This is the way photos have been synced to and removed from iPhones and iPads since at least iOS 4.

Organize your photos on your computer and they will be organized on your iPhone or iPad.
