Running out of storage is a common problem. When your phone is full, it becomes harder to install apps, record videos, or update the system. Your gallery grows over time with large videos, screen recordings, screenshots, and photos you no longer need, and sorting everything manually takes time and effort. Clean Up Photos helps you free up storage from your photo and video gallery in a safe and controlled way. The app is designed for users who want real results in gigabytes, but don’t trust aggressive auto-cleaners that delete files without clear confirmation. The process is simple and transparent. The app scans your gallery and shows how much space can be freed before anything is deleted. You immediately see the potential result and decide whether to continue. During the scan, Clean Up Photos focuses on the content that usually takes the most space. Large videos, screen recordings, screenshots, and other heavy media are grouped so you can quickly understand what is worth cleaning. This saves time and helps you avoid deleting important photos by mistake. Nothing is ever removed automatically. Before cleaning, you review the selected items and make a clear choice. This approach keeps you in control and removes the fear of losing something valuable. Cleaning is designed to be safe. Deleted files can be restored using the system recovery options, such as the “Recently Deleted” album on iOS or the system Trash where available. This gives you confidence to clean your gallery without stress. Clean Up Photos is built for a calm and premium experience. There are no confusing flows, no misleading promises, and no risky system actions. The app works only with your photo and video gallery and does not access other parts of your phone. This app is a good fit if your storage is full and you need space quickly, if your gallery feels cluttered with large or forgotten media, or if you want to keep your phone organized over time without constant manual sorting. It is also ideal for users who prefer clarity and control instead of one-tap “magic” cleaners. You can start using Clean Up Photos for free and clean your gallery step by step. Premium access is available for users who want faster cleanup, uninterrupted sessions, and additional convenience. Free up space at your own pace. Stay in control of your files. Clean your gallery with confidence. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Clean Up Photo at 15.1 against Scan's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
