Screenshots are one of the easiest things to save on an iPhone and one of the easiest things to forget. Tickets, receipts, maps, chats, and temporary reminders often stay in the Photos app long after they stop being useful.

Where to find screenshots on iPhone

Apple already groups screenshots inside the Photos app, which makes them easier to review than regular images.

  • Open Photos.
  • Scroll to Media Types.
  • Tap Screenshots.
  • Review what you still need.

How to delete screenshots manually

If you only have a few screenshots to remove, the manual method is simple.

  1. Open the Screenshots section in Photos.
  2. Tap Select.
  3. Mark the screenshots you no longer want.
  4. Tap the trash icon and confirm.
  5. Empty Recently Deleted if you want the space back immediately.

Why manual cleanup gets slow

The problem starts when you have hundreds of screenshots instead of ten or twenty. Manual selection takes time, especially when the screenshots are mixed across months or years of device use.

  • You have to scroll through a long list.
  • It is easy to lose track of what you already reviewed.
  • Large libraries make repeated cleanup annoying.

The fastest way to delete many screenshots

If your library has become crowded, a dedicated cleanup workflow is faster. Screenshot Zero finds screenshots on device, lets you review them in batches, and never deletes anything without your approval.

That means you can clear large groups of forgotten screenshots without digging through your entire photo library one image at a time.

Best habit to keep storage under control

Do short screenshot cleanup sessions regularly instead of waiting until your iPhone warns that storage is full. Small, frequent cleanup is faster, safer, and much easier to maintain.
