How to select multiple photos on an iPhone

Follow these steps to select multiple photos on an iPhone:
Launch thePhotos app on your iPhone. It should automatically take you to the Photos tab, set to All Photos. You can go to whatever folder you want to select photos in.
Choose “Select” in the top-right corner. Now, just slide your finger left to right across the images of choice, and a blue checkmark will appear on each selected photo. If you want, after sliding sideways to initiate the gesture, you can then slide up or down to continuously select images while scrolling.
After making your selection, you can display them as a slideshow, share them with another app,or delete them.

The beauty of this method is you don’t need to do it in one pass. For example, you can slide your finger across a row, remove it from the screen, then slide it on a new row to continued selecting. That way, you only select the photos you want, while avoiding rows of photos you don’t.
