   How to Delete Photo Albums on iPhone Tips<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

   Remember that deleting albums of photos doesn’t remove the images contained within them.<\/span>\u00a0Additionally, there are albums that you cannot delete.<\/span>\u00a0Here’s the information you need to be aware of:<\/span><\/p>\n

   When you make a photo album and choose photos to place in it, you’re not taking those photos out of your primary Photos Library or copying a new photo into the album you’re putting it in.<\/span><\/p>\n

   If you “place” the photo into an album, what you’re doing is placing a graphic shortcut (an image of the photo) within the album.<\/span>\u00a0When you click on it, it will open the photo into the library that is which is where the actual image is always present.<\/span><\/p>\n

   The reason for this is that when you delete a picture in an album it’s not erased from your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

   This means that, if you decide to delete the entire album of photos, you’re not actually taking away the photos by themselves.<\/span>\u00a0It’s just removing their organizational structure (the albums).<\/span>\u00a0The original images will be inside Your Photos Library.<\/span><\/p>\n

   Be aware that there are certain albums you are not able to erase.<\/span>\u00a0They are default ones, such as Recents, Selfies, Screenshots, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

   Did you get all that?<\/span>\u00a0Good!<\/span>\u00a0It’s now time to begin getting rid of your photos from albums.<\/span><\/p>\n
