How to Delete Part of a Video on iPhone
Deleting a part of a video on an iPhone can be a useful feature when you want to remove unwanted clips or shorten a video for sharing. With the introduction of the iOS 11 update, Apple has made it easier than ever to trim videos directly on your iPhone. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete part of a video on your iPhone.
Step 1: Open the Photos App
First, open the Photos app on your iPhone. This app is where all your photos and videos are stored. Once the app is open, navigate to the album where your video is saved.
Step 2: Select the Video
Scroll through the album and find the video you want to edit. Tap on the video to open it. Once the video is playing, you will see a thumbnail of the video on the left side of the screen.
Step 3: Trim the Video
To trim the video, you will need to use the editing tools at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the “Edit” button to enable editing mode. You will see two sliders, one on each end of the video. These sliders represent the start and end points of the video.
Step 4: Set the Start and End Points
Drag the left slider to the point where you want to start the video, and the right slider to the point where you want to end the video. The portion of the video between these two points will be trimmed.
Step 5: Save the Trimmed Video
Once you have set the start and end points, tap on the “Done” button in the upper-right corner of the screen. This will save the trimmed video. You will now see two videos in the album: the original and the trimmed version.
Step 6: Delete the Original Video (Optional)
If you want to delete the original video, tap on the trash icon next to the original video’s thumbnail. A confirmation prompt will appear; tap “Delete” to remove the original video from your iPhone.
Conclusion
Deleting part of a video on your iPhone is a straightforward process, thanks to the editing tools provided by Apple. By following these simple steps, you can easily trim and save the portion of the video you want, while keeping the rest of your media intact.
