SnapClean

Your iPhone says storage is full. You delete a few hundred photos. Nothing changes. SnapClean exists because that keeps happening โ€” and because no other cleaner will tell you why. Everything runs on your device. No uploads, no account, no ads. WHAT'S ACTUALLY ON YOUR PHONE Your photo library can read as 800 GB while only 12 GB of it sits on this iPhone. If your originals live in iCloud, deleting them frees iCloud โ€” not your phone. SnapClean checks which is which and says so plainly, so you stop deleting things that free nothing. HONEST DELETE RECEIPTS Delete a batch and you'll see two numbers, not one: what was genuinely freed right now, and what's still sitting in Recently Deleted for the next 30 days. Empty that album, come back, and SnapClean confirms the measured result against what it promised. ONE LIST, BIGGEST OFFENDERS FIRST Everything worth clearing in a single list, sorted by what's actually taking space on this device โ€” not by what's largest in iCloud. Filter by similar shots, screenshots, big videos, big files. Items that only exist in the cloud are marked, so you know before you tap. FREE SPACE WITHOUT DECIDING Compress screenshots and large videos in place. Nothing to pick through, nothing to lose โ€” the compressed copy replaces the original only after it's safely saved, and the original stays recoverable for 30 days. SWIPE IF YOU PREFER Prefer to go one at a time? Swipe left to clear, right to keep, with undo. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE All analysis happens on device. No uploads, no servers, no account, no tracking, no ads. SnapClean never deletes anything on its own โ€” you review and confirm, and everything goes to Recently Deleted first, recoverable for 30 days. FREE, AND FAIR Every cleanup and deletion feature is free forever. SnapClean Pro adds unlimited compression and is available as a one-time purchase โ€” not a subscription you'll forget to cancel.
