Ondrej Holzman If for some reason you take a lot of screenshots on your iOS devices, you've surely encountered two problems: how they get in the way of other photos in your library and how "difficult" it is to delete them. A simple solution is provided by the Screeny application, which automatically finds all screenshots and deletes them.
In the App Store, Screeny is described as a utility that helps you increase storage space on your iPhone or iPad by deleting screenshots taken. Personally, I was much more bothered by their presence in the folder with the other images. It would be enough if Apple created its own folder for screenshots, where the pages of ordinary photos would be stored, but after eight generations of its operating system, it could not do it.
In addition, since screenshots are usually scattered throughout the library, because you take them randomly, sometimes three at a time, sometimes only one, etc., it was not very easy to delete them. Searching the library and clicking on each screenshot was annoying and tedious.
If you get the Screeny app now for just one euro, you're out of trouble. When you start Screeny, it scans your library, selects all screenshots from it, and you can delete them in two swipes. First, you select which ones you want to delete (all, last 15/30 days, or manually select) and then tap trash.
In the end, at least in part, we can thank Apple for managing fingerprints with Screeny. The application could only be born thanks to iOS 8, in which Apple released tools for deleting images to developers.

Am I the only one who finds the app somewhat useless? I'm not saying he can't find his customers, but I don't see anything useful in him deleting my screenshots. If I take a screenshot, I probably need it for something, just like when I take a picture with my phone. It even makes perfect sense to me that the screenshots are in the same photo album - it's easier to search. I don't usually take pictures of big art with my phone, but here I take a picture of some opening hours, a bus stop in an unknown city, so that I have the location saved in the photo and so that I know what it looks like there when I look for it again in a few days, or take a screenshot, for example timetables, or some goods in the safari... so the activity is rather documentary and it's great that it's all chronologically in one gallery. If someone takes screenshots "accidentally", as stated in the article, then this is probably the application for them.
