IPhone Tutorial 6 - Delete, retrieve and share your photos


Photos are made to be seen. In reality, we have to qualify the way: some pictures are worth being shown, shared others must be corrected, improved or recovered and others still need to be removed.

To remove a failed or uninteresting picture:

1) In presenting Collections, touch the photo series containing one or ones to delete. Moments you access the panel.

2) In Moments panel, touch Select, top left.

3) Touch the photo or photos to be deleted. They are marked with a check mark in a blue tablet.

4) Tap the icon of a trash can in the lower right. The Photos application asks to confirm the deletion of photos in the album.

5) Tap the Delete Photo or Delete (x) elements (or Cancel if you finally change your mind). The photo is sent to the Deleted album recently.

Warning: When you delete photos from an iPhone 6 synchronized with other devices (computers, iPad ...), the pictures are deleted in all of these devices.

Note: It is not possible to delete imported photos by synchronizing. To take them out, you need to synchronize again after you have removed the computer folder or iPhoto.

Recover photos

All photos you deleted are sent in a basket. Here's how to recover:

1) Open the Photos application.

2) Albums Touch the icon in the lower right.

3) Tap the album Deleted recently. Thumbnails of deleted photos are visible.

4) Touch Select, above right.

5) Tap the thumbnail of each photo to be recovered. They are marked with a check mark in a blue tablet. If you want to retrieve only one photo, do not touch Select, but directly touch the photo. Its thumbnail appears alone, big.

6) Touch the Retrieve option at the bottom right. The application asks for confirmation.

7) Touch the Retrieve the photo. The photo is immediately returned to the album where she was. If the iPhone 6 is synchronized, the picture is again present in all other devices. On your iPhone, the next pictures of the trash is now visible, ready to be retrieved or deleted.

8) To stop recover photos, double-tap the top left chevron. You will return in the Albums panel.

The same procedure is used to permanently delete photos. Instead of tapping the Retrieve option, you touch the Delete option. This is irreversible. Photos deleted from the recycle bin are sunk effect.

Use Photo feeds

Under the iCloud service all the photos taken with the iPhone, or with other hardware running iOS such as the iPad and recent iPod Touch, are automatically sent to all your other devices, including your PC, Mac, iPad , iPod Touch, Apple TV box or to another iPhone. The transfer occurs through the magic of RSS feature photos.

Do not worry about storage space. The last 1000 photos taken in the last 30 days are indeed stored in a Photo Stream album for 30 days. It is a term that Apple considers sufficient for all equipment have had the opportunity to interconnect and recover those photos via Wi-Fi.

All photos remain on the PC or the Mac because their storage capacity is the highest. It is always possible to manually move the photos from the Photo Stream album to another album of your iPhone or any other hardware running iOS.

Pictures taken with the iPhone are not placed in the stream of pictures as you have not left the Photos application. In this way, you can delete those that should not migrate to other equipment.

If for some reason the pictures taken with the iPhone are not sent, tap Settings, scroll commands to the Photos option and make sure the Photo Stream switch is active.

Share photos

Pictures of iPhone 6 can be shared in various ways. But first, make sure that in an album, you have carried out the following operation:

1) In an album, tap Select, above right. Select the panel elements appear. The thumbnails of the album are visible.

2) Tap one or more photos. They are marked with a check mark in a blue tablet.

3) Tap the bottom left action icon.

What you can do with your photos

- AirDrop: This function allows to exchange data with a person connected to the same Wi-Fi network or Bluetooth, provided that the equipment works and iOS are compatible.

- Message: the picture is attached to an MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service "Multimedia Messaging Service") or an iMessage (connection via Wi-Fi with another iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac running Mac OS X Lion Mountain). Enter the mobile phone number of the recipient or its Internet address, then tap the Send button.

- Send by e-mail: When you touch the Send button by mail, the picture is attached to a blank email message. You are asked at what size the image should be reduced: Small, Medium, Large or Actual Size. For photos taken with the iPhone 6, opt for the size Medium or Large as the actual size (640 x 960 pixels) would fail to see the whole picture on most computer monitors. Enter the email address, the message subject and the message itself and touch the Send button.

- Share with iCloud: Adds image to the Photo Stream, a feature described in the previous section.

- Twitter: Touch the Tweet button, and the picture is embedded in a tweet. Add a note, within the limit of 140 characters allowed.

In the Contacts list, tap the name of the person to whom you will assign the photo. As for the wallpaper, you can move and resize the photo. Then touch the OK button.

Another technique is to touch the Phone icon in the Home screen and then the Contacts icon. Touch the corresponding area, tap the Edit button, then tap the square area Add photo, top left.
