The ability to choose every image within a specified location on Apple’s mobile operating system provides a user with the means to perform bulk actions. For instance, an individual might wish to move all pictures from a particular album to a different storage location, or delete them to free up device space. This is accomplished through a multi-select function within the Photos application and other apps that allow image selection.
This capability streamlines image management, saving significant time and effort compared to individually selecting each picture. Historically, early mobile operating systems lacked robust multi-select features, leading to cumbersome processes for managing large numbers of images. The introduction and refinement of functions that select all items addressed this usability challenge, enhancing the user experience and improving efficiency.
