Simple as a swipe: Photowipe app lets you easily move your photos to the trash

Photowipe is a new app for iOS that simplifies the process of moving images from your Camera Roll to the trash. To delete images, you navigate through your photos one at a time and swipe up to send them to the garbage.

If you’ve ever attempted to delete a large amount of photos stored on your iOS device, you might have noticed the process is far from intuitive. It’s for that reason developer App Department decided to create Photowipe, an iOS app created to simplify the process of deleting your unwanted images off your iOS device.

The overall concept of the app is similar to the image removal process of Apple’s Photo app, but by relying on a common gesture and showing the images on a cleaner interface, the experience becomes more intuitive.

Once you have downloaded Photowipe and given it access to the photos on your iOS device, the process begins with a gallery of the images on your Camera Roll. Select the first image you want to begin with and you are presented with a large version of the image in question. To keep the image, simply swipe to the next. If you want the image deleted, swipe up with your finger and the image will be added to a trash folder.

When you have finished deleting images — be it because you are out of images or your fingers have been worn out — tap the trash icon and confirm that they are good to be disposed of.

Oddly enough, the app itself stores the deleted images in a “Recently Deleted” folder. It seems a bit unusual that Photowipe simply moves where those images are stored on your phone since many times images are deleted for more space, but this feature gives you 30 days to undo any accidental deletion. Which, let’s be honest, happens all the time. If you prefer the images be deleted right away, you can force delete the images in the backup folder.

Photowipe is free to download, so head on over to the app store and take it for a spin.

Full-frame cameras tend to be chunky beasts, but Sigma wants to prove that big imaging doesn't need a big body. Enter the Sigma FP2, the successor to its tiny, boxy fp mirrorless camera. It keeps the same modular design but packs in some serious upgrades, including a 24.5-megapixel partially stacked full-frame sensor, improved autofocus, 6K video recording, and 70GB of built-in storage. Sigma calls it the world's smallest full-frame camera, and while it might be tiny, the same cannot be said for its price tag.

A phone thermal camera is one of those tools you don’t think you need until the first time it saves you from an expensive problem, and the Thermal Master P3 just got easier to try. For Halloween, it’s discounted with the code THERMCAM10, a 10% cut that works out to $107 off the total. It’s also fresh off a win at the 2026 Tom’s Guide AI Awards for best phone thermal camera, which is the kind of third-party nod that separates a serious tool from the cheap clip-on sensors that flood this category.
