🧠 Feature Proposal: Share & Delete Option for iOS Share Sheet
🔍 Problem: Many users frequently share temporary content like group photos, screenshots, or memes. After sharing, these files often stay in the Photos or Files app, leading to storage clutter.
💡 Solution: Introduce a "Share & Delete" option inside the default iOS Share Sheet.
📲 How it works:
- User selects photo(s)/file(s)
- Opens the Share Sheet
- Sees two options:
- 📤 Share (Standard)
- 🗑️ Share & Delete (New Option)
- After sharing, iOS prompts:
- "Do you want to delete these items from your device?"
✅ Benefits:
- Reduces storage usage
- Simplifies file cleanup
- Speeds up user workflow
🔐 Safety Considerations:
- Confirm deletion after successful share
- Show “Undo” or move to Recently Deleted
