Delete all photos from iPhone does not work as stated.

I am using version 15.5.1 of ios. I select all Photos. The instructions say I can select one photo and then drag to select many. But what actually happens is the photo I selected opens. I don't see a way to select more than one at a time.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Hey there chadfrom purchase,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We'll be happy to help with your Photos. It sounds like you're doing the right thing to remove multiples at once. To be sure, check out this guide, which shows an example: Delete photos on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support Try varying the pressure you're using with your finger and if the issue continues, try restarting your iPhone and see if you can drag your finger across to select several at once.


Take care.
