How To Remove Album From Iphone

You have too many photo albums on your iPhone and you want to delete them. Deleting iPhone albums is a great way to free up some extra storage space and reduce clutter. In this article, I'll show you how to delete albums on your iPhone!

Why Should I Delete Albums On My iPhone?

Some third-party apps automatically create photo albums on your iPhone of the images you post within the app. This is especially common with social media apps like Instagram and Twitter.

The albums created by these apps can take up a lot of storage space because photos are relatively large files. The more photos you post in these apps, the larger the albums become and the less iPhone storage space you'll have.

Deleting albums is a great way to clear up clutter in Photos and save yourself a little extra storage space!
