Sometimes our digital photo collection on our phones can get cluttered. When you have some extra time here are some photos to consider deleting to help stay organized. 📱
☑️ Blurry or out of focus photos
☑️ Dark photos that can’t easily be brightened
☑️ Accidental photos of hands, feet, ceiling, etc
☑️ Landscape photos- while you may take beautiful landscape shots pick the best ones. Realistically, you may not need 100 photos of the same mountain or tree…same can be said of vacation or zoo trips. Save the ones that are significant, and delete the other 59 photos of the same lion couple
☑️ Duplicate photos or very similar photos form big events. Pick the best and most flattering of the bunch. Also be mindful of bursts or photos that are nearly identical
☑️ Screen shots- I take a lot of screen shots to remember appointments, save a quote, or remind me of a recipe I want to try at a later time. Save the ones that are essential and remove the ones that have been sitting on your phone for months or even years 😬
