Clean Up is the smartest way to free up storage on your device. In seconds, Clean Up scans your entire photo and video library to find what's slowing you down — duplicate photos, similar shots, old screenshots, burst photos, screen recordings, large videos, and short clips you never watch. Whether you're running low on storage or just want a cleaner, more organized photo library, Clean Up does the heavy lifting for you. Smart Cleaning analyzes your library using advanced similarity detection to group near-identical photos and automatically picks the best quality shot to keep. Duplicate detection uses file-level matching so not a single byte of storage gets wasted. The Video Cleaner module identifies space-hungry recordings and old files that silently eat your storage for months. Clean Up works entirely on your device — your photos and videos never leave your phone. No uploads, no cloud access, no privacy compromise. Just a faster, lighter phone. Scan your library and preview everything for free. Deleting photos, videos, and accessing Smart Cleaning results requires a premium subscription. Clean Up offers a Weekly plan and a Monthly plan With three days Free Trial. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
