## Deleting Photos

With Live Reload running and the app open on your device, let’s implement photo deletion functionality. Open `tab2.page.html` and add a new click handler to each `<ion-img>` element. When the app user taps on a photo in our gallery, we’ll display an [Action Sheet](https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/action-sheet) dialog with the option to either delete the selected photo or cancel (close) the dialog.
