How to select all photos in iCloud

Yes, it's all a vast conspiracy against you personally. Apple makes all of it's money by forcing you to use iCloud Photos.

Sorry, but NO. I don't use iCloud Photos, and you don't have to. Before iCloud Photos there was importing to your computer. That is still an option available to you.

So, if you would take the time to educate yourself about your options regarding your iCloud usage and photos management, you would find out that you have alternatives. And if you have alternatives, then you cannot accuse someone of slimy tactics. If you don't like how iCloud Photos work, then don't use that feature. How hard is that?

And the thousands of people you are referring to simply indicated that they had the same question. That doesn't mean that none of the various answers that have been supplied were acceptable to them. You are projecting.

!!! NO, You may not select all photos stored in iCloud !!!

I've hours of googling and apple simply redirects to old information!

Pick them one by one, awful tactic, I have 4300+ pictures held hostage on iCloud

Found no other method

This is annoying. Get your **** together Apple and stop abusing your loyal customers. This is dumbass and you know it. I just want to clear out my photos and even that i have to go one by one. You're simply being pricks about this. So easy to have a select all, or allow click and drag to select. But no... you force people to waste time selecting on photo after another. Its things like this that turn people away from products like iCloud... don't you get it? duh

At no time did I say that it wasn't a problem, so please do not mischaracterize what I stated. I simply stated that there is absolutely no point in griping and whinging about it to fellow users, and that it is what it is.

Of course, simply posting that you are glad about the change appears not to be satisfying unless you can insult someone at the same time.

Have a great life.

Gail, is this not the Community Support Forum? And is not commiserating a form of supporting one another? You've been so salty toward everyone who posted on this topic! Just let people support one another. There is no need for the extreme corporate loyalty. One day Apple will upset you, too.

select the first photo so its highlighted (just click it)

scroll all the was down to the end using the bar on the right

hold shift and select the last photo

this will select all photos in between aswell

Please...

I need to select and delete 3,000 photos...

I can't shift click on 3,000 photos.

There must be a rational way to do that.

Also, as you're selecting all 3000 pictures one-by-one, make sure you don't accidentally miss and click on a space between the photos, or its game over start all over again!

add the "select all" option.

Hold down the control button (ctrl) and click on all the photos that you want to select. Not sure why Apple said to hold down shift 🙄

agreed. we need better selection mechanisms. but try my “finger slide” suggestion in the meantime. it can be used to select a large range if you can delicately control the speed of scrolling

You must be joking.
