How to Create a Shortcut to Easily Delete Old Screenshots on iPhone
Deleting hundreds of screenshots manually can be tedious, which is why creating an iPhone shortcut to delete them in seconds can be extremely useful.
Use Shortcuts app to delete all screenshots at once
Using Shortcuts can be a little daunting to get started with, especially if you’ve never experimented with them before. But once you know what you can do, a whole world of automation opens up to you. One favorite shortcut gives you an easy way to delete screenshots in bulk without having to manually find them in the Photos app. This is a huge time saver.
To create a shortcut that can quickly delete screenshots:
- Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. If you don't find it, you'll need to download it from the App Store .
- In the app, tap the plus icon in the upper right corner.
- In the Search for tasks pane , scroll down and select Photos > Find Photos .
- Tap on the Add filter option , click on Album and select As screenshot .
- Now, find Delete Photo in the action box and select it.
- Name your shortcut Delete Screenshot and tap Done in the upper right corner.
Once everything is set up, you can run the shortcut at any time to delete all screenshots. This should generally be done once a month, but effectiveness may vary depending on how many screenshots you take.
Tip : You can run any shortcut quickly by adding it to your home screen or asking Siri to run it by saying "Hey Siri, run Delete Screenshot" .
Make sure the Shortcuts app has bulk delete permissions
By default, the Shortcuts app on iPhone can't delete or share content in bulk, so if you have hundreds or even thousands of screenshots, running the shortcut can lead to errors.
Luckily, there is an easy fix for this error. All you need to do is grant the Shortcuts app the necessary permissions to bulk delete content.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone and scroll all the way down and tap Apps .
- Find Shortcut in the list and tap on it.
- Tap Advanced and turn on Allow large data deletion .
- (Optional) If you don't want the Shortcuts app to display a confirmation prompt, turn on Allow deletion without confirmation .
That's it! After adjusting these settings, you can now delete all your old screenshots with just one tap - no errors or hassle.
Being able to delete old screenshots with just one tap is definitely useful. If you are in a similar situation, I highly recommend you try this shortcut - you will be surprised at how much storage space you can free up on your iPhone !
