We\u2019ve all been there before \u2014 taking multiple photos from different angles just to make sure you get the best shot possible (even though most of them aren\u2019t worth sharing). Or taking a hundred selfies with a hundred different faces only to just post one on Instagram. And if you\u2019ve really gotten into phone photography after reading our iPhone 12 camera blog<\/a>, you probably have a camera roll full of test shots that you\u2019ll never edit or upload. And remember adding that one “friend” into your contacts but then never messaging them? So what should you do with all of those photos and contacts you no longer need?<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll cover a couple of reasons why you should consider sorting through your old photos and contacts. After all, 2021 could be your year of productivity and efficiency (check out our 2 cents on that topic<\/a>)!<\/span><\/p>\n

How Should You Clean Out Your Photos and Contacts?<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. <\/b>Organization<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you\u2019re anything like us, your phone\u2019s camera roll is probably anything but organized. And you probably don\u2019t want to waste a ton of space on photos and videos you will never use or upload to social media. But with our tips in hand, you\u2019ll have an organized camera roll before you know it!<\/span><\/p>\n

    For your first step in the organization process, we recommend creating albums for your photos and categorizing them that way. You can organize by timeline, by people, by events, or any category you want! That way, the next time you\u2019re looking for a specific photo, it will be at the tip of your fingers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    And if you\u2019re overwhelmed by the mass of photos in your camera roll, you can select photos in bulk and transfer them to a specific album as well. It\u2019s quick <\/span>and <\/span><\/i>organized!<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. <\/b>Save on the Cloud<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Not quite sure if you\u2019re ready to part with all of those photos just yet? Upload them to the Cloud! This option is for iPhone users only, of course, but it allows you to store your images elsewhere and free up some space on your phone in the process. As long as you have internet access, you\u2019ll be able to transfer your photos from your phone to the Cloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. <\/b>Delete, Delete!<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This is the not-so-fun part \u2014 we know. But just remember that the best part of a moment captured in a photo is the moment itself. Just think about how many duplicate, blurry, and screenshotted images are just sitting on your phone! Delete any photos that just don\u2019t stand out to you, because that probably means you\u2019ll never use them for anything. And in the end, decluttering will feel good \u2014 trust us.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. <\/b>Establish a \u201cCleaning Out Routine\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Get into the habit of cleaning out your photos by setting a weekly or monthly reminder to do so. Or you could even set a weekly reminder to organize them and a monthly reminder to delete the ones you no longer need\/want!<\/span><\/p>\n

          Don\u2019t put it off any longer; now that you have the tips and tricks to sort through your phone\u2019s photos and contacts, go ahead and go for it! And if you need any assistance along the way, don\u2019t hesitate to give iParts & Phone Repairs<\/a> a call.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
