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.

in ios8 deleting photos is possible using the Photos Framework

Please check the documentation of Photos Framework

For deleting assets refer to PHAssetChangeRequest

+ (void)deleteAssets:(id<NSFastEnumeration>)assets

where assets is an array of PHAsset objects to be deleted.

For deleting collections refer to PHAssetCollectionChangeRequest
