Delete Photos and Videos Using the iOS App

If you have unwanted photos or videos, delete them using the iOS app.

  1. Open Amazon Photos.
  2. Press and hold until a check appears on the item you want to delete.
  3. If you want to select more photos or videos, tap once on each additional item. De-select a checked item by tapping it again.
  4. Select the Trash icon at the bottom of your screen.

    If you delete an item from the Amazon Photos app, it isn't deleted from your device's local storage at the same time. Deleted photos move to your Trash folder.

Items in the Trash folder are permanently deleted after 90 days. To restore or permanently delete items from the Deleted folder, go to your Trash folder in the Amazon Photos app:

1. Select the album view.

2. Select the Trash icon.

3. Select the photo or video to restore or delete.

4. Select Restore or Delete.

Permanently deleted photos cannot be restored from the Trash folder.

Note: Hidden photos folder has moved from the Settings tab to the Album view.
