Managing photos in iOS

Kemik · 20 Sep 2018 at 09:44

Hi guys,

Is there any easy way to manage the photos on my iPhone via a computer? I really want to go through the thousands of photos and delete any I don't need any more. I know I can access iCloud via the web but wasn't sure if this would then sync with my phone?

Thanks!

The Photos app on the Mac does just that. I don't know if there's an equivalent on Windows though.

The iCloud web interface does sync with the iPhone. I just deleted a photo from it and got this warning.

The picture has gone from my iPhone.

As long as you’re using iCloud photos any changes made elsewhere will sync.

iCloud for Windows will sync between the Photos app and a PC but it’s not a great solution. It’s basically just a set of special folders in explorer that sync with iCloud. It works but it isn’t pretty.
