Delete an asset (picture or video) from IPhone in IOS


I am working on an Iphone app and I can enumerate assets using the Assetslibrary and load them into a table view. The user can delete a row (a picture / video) in the app but how do I UPDATE the Iphone photo album directly from my app? Otherwise on refreshing, the tableview will reload the previously deleted asset.

  • Possible duplication of https://stackoverflow.com/a/11058934/300292. Simple answer: you can't. The Photos app is the only place you can delete assets. Which is probably a good thing--you wouldn't want any willy-nilly app to be able to delete all your photos, would you?
