All about the roll of my weekly camera roll cleaning

One of my Friday routines is to clean my camera scroll on my cellphone.

I started doing this about three years ago and this is a good way to end this week and also keep my cellphone camera roll so it is not really messy with almost identical photos, random screenshots, and opaque videos from the bottom of my wallet.

It takes about 5 minutes every week and makes my life much easier!

Here are all the details about how I do my weekly camera clearly:

How to Clean Photos on iPhone or Android

I use SlideBox to quickly sort and delete my photos – this is an application that is integrated with your cellphone camera scroll and makes it very fast and easy (I pay for the premium version and is worth every pen. I have all posts about slidebox here, if you want further details.

Basically, it starts with your most recent photos and you either swipe it into the trash in the top right corner or drop it into the album you want to save it in. Lots of people ask why i even bother with an app, when you could just do it right in the camera roll and you’re more than welcome to do so, but it’s way more tedious and up to you’ve tried a swiping app, it’s hard to convey how If it works for you or you can decide to keep doing it right on the camera scroll).

I have a number of albums (like “2025 Family Album” for the photos that I will put in our year -end photo book or “Reels” or “August 2025 Book Club” or “Books to Rese” or “Savvy Reviews”) and then I can enter photos on the right album so that I can find it when I need it. It was fun when the Book Club Month rolled and I had all messages and comments about books that were stored in one place where I could easily find and share it!

When I have sorted a photo for a week (which usually takes about five to ten minutes), I permanently discarded everything I had deleted which also deleted it from my iCloud.

My camera scroll also supports Google and SlideBox photos do not interact with it – I pass every or two months and delete things manually there (generally the 23401 video takes a large number of spaces).

I opened the question box on Instagram about my weekly camera type and here are some of the most common questions that come in:

T&J about my weekly cleaning from my photo

How often do you delete/delete your phone photo?
I do this almost every Friday. If I travel or not available, I will only sort two weeks on the following Friday.

Have you ever felt the need to review what will be deleted?
This is an important thing to know about SlideBox – it doesn’t delete anything for you. You review, sort, and delete each photo. The thing that makes it fast is the interface, but does not delete anything you have not chosen to be deleted.

Is there a reason you switch from Flic?
Yes! Flic stopped being updated about 6 years ago, plus not functioning with Android at all, so I switched to SlideBox.

Slidebox is not available for my android – is there a possibility that your followers have a good ReC for Android?
This is available for Android now!

Why use the application and not just look at photos and delete?
Because serious 10x faster and smoother. If you are skeptical, try it for free and see what you think. And if you have a good system without an application, keep using it! There is no pressure on my part to replace a good thing. (But if you have good intentions to clean the items and continue to postpone it because it is very boring, try slidebox seriously).

I started this last Friday when you post. I passed 300 photos in a short time!
It’s really wild how fast and not painful. This is one situation where the right tool makes all differences.

Do you use the free version of the application or pay for an increase?
It took about 30 seconds to decide that the cost one time was worth paying. Stopping every 20 photos for advertisements is to waste my time. Also, because this is a one -time cost, the faster you pay it, the more values you will get from it (or you can choose the subscription option now, I think).

Do you trust the application? Security issues?
Obviously, if you are worried, you have to do your own research. I personally believe in it and have no problem with it.

I really want to overcome the situation of my photo storage, but it seems very extraordinary.
I know exactly what you mean! When you see that you have 40,000 photos of sitting there, it’s extraordinary. This is what I will do: Download SlideBox and take photos from last month. Just that. Maybe you will need 10 minutes. After you finish it, come back and do a month before. Starting is the worst part. Don’t be committed to managing everything now. Start doing a week at once so that it does not get worse.

How do you decide what to store? Baby photos are all very cute and valuable and space pigs.
The thing about slidebox is that it really makes it easier to deal with this. If you have taken 100 photos of your baby in a row (guilty!), SlideBox makes it easy to see “Oh, they blinked in this matter. Delete” or “Oh, this one is blurry. Delete.” When you can swipe it, you maintain the best, not everyone. No one needs 50 photos that are almost identical. Choose the best 2-3 and make everyone life easier.

Do you use screenshots? I have so much mixed in my usual photo.
Oh million! That is one of the reasons I like this system – I can sort it into an album like ‘Utah Spots “or” Books to Read “or whatever so I can really find it when I need it (and I can quickly delete what I no longer need).

Do you save your Insta content, such as a roll video and others?
I keep all my finished rolls and delete all additional clips and additional videos. I have an album for all scrolls for life. I certainly do not save all my videos for installated instastories or videos after posting.

Where do you save the photos that you will use to post blogging/stories?
I have several albums for this type of photo so I am ready to use. The most widely used album for this is actually my lightroom album that holds all my photos that are edited because they are ready to use.

Does this help storing iCloud or you still pay it?
I pay for iCloud storage, but this helps keep it easier to manage so that I only pay to make a backup thing that I really care about saving and not a lot of trash

When did you edit the photo? When you use it, with weekly cleaning, never?
I edited it when I used photos – it was not part of this camera roll workflow.

Are you printing it?
I made an annual photo book (which was made very easy by having an album titled “2025 Family Album” so that all the photos I want to use are there, ready to leave).

Do you reserve all your photos every week on the hard drive or something? Feels like a lot of work.
They supported iCloud and Google photos (both of them occur automatically – there is no job at all).

Where do you support your photos?
ICloud and Google photos.

I made a backup of all my photos to Google. Is this cleaning your camera roll or reserve too?
It doesn’t delete backups – you can turn off automatic synchronization for Google’s photo and then turn on every Friday when you finish cleaning the garbage photo so you don’t reserve all of that automatically.

I really want to see the screencast from you doing it. I tried it before and I didn’t know what I was doing?
I have made a little video on Instagram – you can see it here.

Any other question about my weekly camera is clean? I’m happy to answer!
