The latest versions of iOS come with a handy drag gesture that allows iPhone as well as iPad users to quickly choose several images in the Photos app without having to constantly click on images or employ the date select method.

Utilizing iOS’s iOS drag and choose gestures, users are able to select as many images as they want to display on the screen. You can later share, add to folders, move or perform other actions using.

However, you can use the tap and drag feature instead due to the nature of touchscreens on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.

How to choose multiple photos using iPhone & iPad by using the Tap & Click Gesture
