Get screenshot (album) count in swift

I am new to Swift and am trying to make a function that simply returns the number of photos in your screenshot album using fetchAssetCollections

I have

func getNumScreenshots() -> Int {

    let collection:PHFetchResult =  
     PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollections(with: .album, subtype:.smartAlbumScreenshots, options: nil)

    return collection.count
}

However, this is always returning 3, and I'm not sure why (I have 600 screenshots on my iPhone).

You can use a predicate like this :

let options = PHFetchOptions()
options.predicate = NSPredicate(format: "(mediaSubtype & %d) != 0", PHAssetMediaSubtype.photoScreenshot.rawValue)
let screenshots = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: .image, options: options)
print("screenshots count: \(screenshots.count)")

In Swift 4 there is a very quick way to fetch PHAssets of just ScreenShots, without messy if elses:

Swift 4 :

let sc_Fetch = PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollections(with: .smartAlbum, subtype: **.smartAlbumScreenshots**, options: nil).firstObject!

let sc_Assets = PHAsset.fetchAssets(in: sc_Fetch , options: nil)

print("All ScreenShots Count : " , sc_Assets.count)

You can try with this:

let albumsPhoto:PHFetchResult<PHAssetCollection> = PHAssetCollection.fetchAssetCollections(with: .smartAlbum, subtype: .albumRegular, options: nil)

    albumsPhoto.enumerateObjects({(collection, index, object) in
        if collection.localizedTitle == "Screenshots"{
            let photoInAlbum = PHAsset.fetchAssets(in: collection, options: nil)
            print(photoInAlbum.count) //Screenshots albums count
        }
    })

Note: Use this code is Swift 3
