Your iPhone fills up with burst shots, screenshots, screen recordings, and email you never open. Cleaner Pro finds what you can let go of, shows how much space it takes, and clears it in a few taps. PHOTOS, SORTED FOR YOU Similar shots and exact duplicates are grouped together. Screenshots, selfies, and Live Photos each get their own section, and you can browse photos by location. Keep the ones you love and clear the rest. SMART CLEAN Screenshots, duplicate photos, screen recordings, and short videos are gathered in one place, so a big cleanup takes a single pass. VIDEOS, WITHOUT THE WASTED SPACE Review similar clips and screen recordings, remove short videos you don't need, or compress large ones and choose whether to keep the original. GMAIL, QUIETER Connect Gmail and clear promotions, social updates, newsletters, forums, and spam. Clean up by sender, find messages over 5 MB, and clear mail older than a year from those same categories, while your Primary inbox stays out of it. Unsubscribe in one tap from lists that support it. Starred emails are never touched in bulk cleanups, and everything you clear goes to Gmail's Trash, where you can restore it for 30 days. CONTACTS, WITHOUT THE DOUBLES Merge duplicate contacts, remove incomplete ones, and back up your address book before you change anything. PRIVATE VAULT Move personal photos and videos out of your library and keep them locked behind Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode. YOU STAY IN CONTROL Nothing is removed until you confirm. Deleted photos and videos go to Recently Deleted, where they stay for 30 days. Start cleaning for free. Premium removes the daily limits.
