PhotoHelp is a privacy-first app that helps you clean up, organize, and move your photos—without ever uploading them to someone else's servers. It's designed for people who want a simpler photo library, but don't want to risk losing their precious memories. Whether you are running out of storage, drowning in forgotten screenshots, or just want to back up your camera roll, PhotoHelp makes it incredibly simple, safe, and transparent. Key Features + Screenshot Purge (NEW): Your camera roll is full of screenshots you forgot about. PhotoHelp instantly rounds them all up so you can review, keep, or bulk-delete them in seconds. + Photo Quality Check (NEW): Blurry shot? Someone blinked? PhotoHelp uses on-device intelligence to flag low-quality photos so you can clean them out without scrolling through thousands of images manually. + Clear Out "Space Hogs": Instantly see the massive videos eating up your iPhone's storage, plus new photo compression estimates. We provide plain-English estimates so you know exactly how much space you'll get back (e.g., "Deleting these 5 videos will free up space for roughly 1,000 new photos."). + Find Duplicate Photos: Quickly scan your library to find exact copies and visually similar photos. Review them side-by-side, ignore the ones you want to keep, and delete the extras with a single tap. + Two-Way Google Photos Transfer: Easily copy photos from your iPhone to Google Photos as a cloud backup, or import your Google Photos directly down to your iPhone with live progress tracking. Both directions, seamlessly in one app. + Manage Shared Albums: Easily browse your iCloud Shared Albums and share your favorite selections with family and friends. + Full-Screen Previews: Long-press any photo or video thumbnail anywhere in the app to see it full-screen, complete with pinch-to-zoom and inline video playback.
