How do I quickly delete multiple photos and videos on iPhone?

I capture hundreds (if not thousands) of pics and vids) with my iPhone on a regular basis.

I tried deleting the pics and vids by tapping and dragging the files to delete on the phone. And then putting in the trash.

The process works. But it takes a very long time.


I do have an app that simplifies the process considerably. But it still takes a good amount of time to transfer all the files to the PC or external storage device.


Is there a file app or something that will enable to delete all the pics and vids with a couple of steps (like on a Samsung)?



Thanks.
