Using the gesture popularized by Tinder, swiping left on a photo marks it for deletion, and swiping right marks it as a favorite, though the delete or favorite actions can be substituted with a hide photo action instead. Tapping on an image expands it from its thumbnail so you can take a closer look.

Tinder-style photo deleting and favorite marking. Images, other than Live Photos and videos, can also be rotated or shared via the share sheet from here. You can also access BestPhotos’ settings and select one or more photos for batch deleting or adding to an album. There are buttons in the toolbar along the top of the library view that provides statistics about the photos you’ve taken over the past year. The filters, which are available as Siri shortcuts too, are a good way to tackle an entire category of common issues that might be cluttering up your library, which can be a much less daunting task than taking on your entire library at once. You can also filter by images taken today, this week, month, or year, album, and the smart albums created automatically by the Photos app. BestPhotos is a better solution that streamlines the whole process.įrom the Library view of BestPhotos, you can view your entire collection of photos or filter them by areas that may need attention like images that are missing location data, portrait mode photos that include a regular copy of the image that you may want to discard, HDR images and non-HDR copies of the same image, short videos that were probably taken by mistake, vertical videos, iOS screen recordings, duplicates, and similar photos. Sifting through to find the best shots and discard old screenshots, duplicates, and just plain bad photos takes a lot of tapping and time in Apple’s Photos app. I take thousands of pictures each year and sometimes it feels like I take even more screenshots. BestPhotos, a photo management app from Chicago-based Windy Software that we’ve covered on Club MacStories before, was updated today with new features for quickly and efficiently organizing your photos.
