## What is Photo Linger Clean?

Find duplicate and similar photos, review large videos, and organize your photo library with Photo Linger Clean. Compare photo groups on-device and choose what to keep before confirming any deletion.

FREE DAILY ROUNDS AND PERMANENT ACCESS
New users can review 3 free rounds per device per local calendar day, up to 15 items per round, shared across categories. Reopening an unfinished round does not use another allowance. One optional purchase permanently unlocks unlimited rounds and on-device duplicate/similar-photo analysis. No subscription. See the in-app Apple purchase screen for your local price. Users who obtained the app before this change retain permanent access at no extra cost; restore with the original Apple Account.

FIND DUPLICATES AND SIMILAR PHOTOS LOCALLY
Manually analyze authorized regular still photos and screenshots, then review verified duplicate and highly similar groups. Videos, Live Photos and RAW are not analyzed. Compare enlarged previews, see keep suggestions, sort by estimated group size or the earliest capture date, and continue directly to the next group. Favorites are not suggested for removal and at least one photo is kept per group. Review each result; not all matching photos can be found.

PAUSE AND RESUME
Pause, cancel or resume analysis. Scans pause in the background and resume manually. Analysis data is cached only on-device and can be cleared. Limited Photos access covers only authorized items. This feature and its previews disable iCloud downloads by default; if you opt in, Apple retrieves images and all analysis remains on-device.

REVIEW BY CATEGORY
Browse all photos, all videos, screenshots, and videos selected by estimated size.

TAKE IT ONE BATCH AT A TIME
Review up to 15 items per batch, with optional random order. Swipe left or right to move between items. Swipe up or tap the trash button to queue an item for deletion.

CONTROL VIDEO SOUND
Video and large-video review start muted. Enable Video Sound to keep audio on while navigating videos and continuing the same cleanup. Leaving for the dashboard and entering again resets sound to off.

CHECK BEFORE YOU DELETE
Review your queued items together and remove anything you want to keep. Deletion happens only after you confirm in the system prompt. Undo actions while reviewing, or double-tap a card to change its favorite status.

UNDERSTAND YOUR STORAGE
See used and available device storage, plus estimated photo and selected-item sizes. File sizes are estimated from media information and may differ from actual storage usage. Large videos are selected using an estimated size of at least 100 MB.

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR CHOICE
No account is required. There are no ads or subscriptions. An optional one-time permanent-unlock in-app purchase is available. Your photos and videos are not uploaded to a developer server.

Available in English and Simplified Chinese, following your device or per-app language settings. For iPhone and iPad running iOS 17.0 or later.

Deleted items move to Recently Deleted in Apple Photos and may continue to use storage until permanently removed. With iCloud Photos, Apple may download cloud items for preview and sync deletions and favorite changes to your other devices.
