00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:01.080
- Hey, what's up guys?

2
00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:03.690
It's Jake with Life Hacker and admit it,

3
00:00:03.690 --> 00:00:05.766
your photos app is a mess.

4
00:00:05.766 --> 00:00:06.599
(whooshing)

5
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:08.460
Sure, it's full of fabulous memories

6
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.620
but it's also full of
screenshots, duplicates

7
00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:13.260
and embarrassing snapshots
you don't want anyone to see.

8
00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:14.610
Most of us has tens of thousands,

9
00:00:14.610 --> 00:00:17.340
if not hundreds of thousands
of photos taken over the years,

10
00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:18.360
which makes rooting out each

11
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:21.060
and every garbage image more
difficult than it's worth.

12
00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:23.520
Now, there's a daily hack
that can fix all that,

14
00:00:25.860 --> 00:00:26.970
It's such a simple solution.

15
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:29.250
It'll make you go, huh,
why didn't I think of that?

16
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:31.620
To start Open your Photos
app on your smartphone.

17
00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:33.900
Now, start a new search
and enter today's date.

18
00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:35.550
Your photos app should
pull up all the photos

19
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:37.350
in your library that
were taken on that date.

20
00:00:37.350 --> 00:00:38.490
Just scroll through the results

21
00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:40.440
and delete any unwanted
images from the list.

22
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:42.060
Depending on the day, you may have a lot

23
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:44.280
of photos or just a few, but either way

24
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.040
it's going to be a lot less
than your entire photos library.

25
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:50.010
Now, do the same thing tomorrow
and the day after that.

26
00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:52.680
In fact, if you make this hack
part of your daily routine

27
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:53.513
by the end of the year,

28
00:00:53.513 --> 00:00:55.890
you'll help clear it through
your entire photos library.

29
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:58.170
Come 2024, you should be
able to browse any part

30
00:00:58.170 --> 00:01:00.630
of your library and only see
the photos you want to see

31
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:02.640
unless you added any junk along the way.

32
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:03.660
Thanks for watching.

00:01:03.660 --> 00:01:05.100
