CleanupMe - Clean & Private shows what takes up room in your photo library and lets you decide what stays. Duplicates, near-identical shots, old screenshots and heavy videos are grouped with their sizes. It also brings a locked album, a contacts tidy-up and Safari filters. Photos are checked on this iPhone, and nothing is removed until you confirm it. WHAT YOU CAN DO 1. Duplicate and Similar Photos. Copies and series of the same moment are grouped, and the sharpest frame is marked, so you keep it and review the rest. 2. Screenshots. Sorted by month. Older ones are preselected, while those from the last 30 days are left alone. 3. Duplicate and Large Videos. Find repeated clips and videos above a size you choose, from 100 MB to 1 GB. 4. Compress Media. Make files lighter instead of deleting them. Balanced keeps 1080p and cuts the size by about half, Smaller switches to 720p. The new copy keeps the original date. 5. Sensitive Media. Text in your photos is read on the device to spot bank cards, receipts, codes, documents and QR codes. Move them to the private album or delete them. 6. Private Album. A separate album inside the app for personal photos, with an optional Face ID or passcode lock. 7. Contacts. Merge duplicates with every number and email kept, review cards without a name or number, and make a backup you can restore. 8. Calendar Invites. Remove invitations from people not in your contacts without sending a reply. 9. Protection. Seven Safari filters hide ads and pop-ups, limit trackers and mining scripts, and open sites over HTTPS. AI Guard answers questions about privacy settings and app permissions. ACCESS AND YOUR DATA Photo library access is needed to find duplicates, videos and sensitive images. Contacts and Calendar access is used only for duplicates and invites. Face ID only unlocks the private album. Removed photos and videos go to Recently Deleted in Photos for up to 30 days; empty that album to free the space right away, and the app shows how. Private album photos and contact backups are stored inside the app on this iPhone, so move or export them before deleting the app. WHEN IT HELPS Whenever storage runs low, one pass through Media shows how much space can be cleared and where. On the privacy side, photos of cards and documents can go into a locked album, unwanted invites leave your calendar, and Safari pages load with fewer ads and trackers. Download CleanupMe and take a calm look at your phone. SUBSCRIPTION CleanupMe PRO gives full access to the cleanup tools and Safari filters.
