How to Delete Multiple Screenshots From Your iPhone

The process is quite similar if you’d prefer to delete multiple screenshots at once on your iPhone or iPad. Here’s what to do.

Where Are Screenshots Saved? 

Screenshots save to the same folder as all the photos you take—i.e., the Photos app. However, once you delete them, they go somewhere else before your device permanently deletes them. Here’s where to find them and how to remove or recover them.

What Can You Take Screenshots Of?

Nearly anything. If it’s on-screen on your iPhone or iPad, it’s possible to take screenshots. The only exceptions are streaming content which tends to return a black screen if you take a screenshot, and some password-related options, which may blank out certain parts or block screenshots. If taking a screenshot of something someone has sent you, remember to ask permission to take the screenshot before doing so.  Taking screenshots can be helpful if you want to keep a record of something or even if you want to share a fun image with someone.
