To select all photos on an iPhone, follow these steps:
1. Open the “Photos” app: Locate the app on your home screen, which has a multicolored pinwheel icon, and tap on it to open.
2. Navigate to the “Library” tab: At the bottom left corner of the screen, you will see four options – “Photos,” “For You,” “Albums,” and “Search.” Tap on the “Library” tab, which is represented by a square grid of four smaller squares.
3. Access all photos: Once you’re in the “Library” tab, you will see different options like “Photos,” “Days,” “Months,” and “Years.” Tap on “Photos” to view all your pictures in chronological order.
4. Begin selecting photos: In the top right corner of the screen, you will see a “Select” button. Tap on it to start selecting photos.
5. Select all photos: To select all photos at once, you can use a little trick. Instead of individually tapping on each photo, swipe your finger from left to right across the first photo in your collection. This will select the first photo and automatically start scrolling through the images. Keep swiping until you reach the last photo you want to select. A blue checkmark will appear on each selected photo.
6. Deselect specific photos: If you accidentally selected a photo you didn’t intend to, tap on it to remove the blue checkmark and deselect it.
7. Select multiple photos individually: If you prefer to select multiple photos individually instead of selecting all, simply tap on each photo you want to include. Each selected photo will have a blue checkmark.
8. Perform actions on selected photos: Once you have selected the desired photos, you can perform various actions on them. For example, you can tap the share icon at the bottom left corner to share the selected photos with others via messages, email, or social media. You can also delete the selected photos by tapping the trash can icon at the bottom right corner.
Remember that selecting all photos at once may take some time if you have a large photo library, so be patient while the app loads and processes the selection.
The process of selecting all photos on an iPhone is relatively straightforward and can be done within the Photos app with just a few taps and swipes.
