Read full description

Phone Check Assistant is an on-device utility that helps you quickly self-check whether common device features are available, and manage everyday tasks like photos, locations, contacts, and network status. CORE FEATURES • One-tap device check: When you start a check, view basic device info and verify availability of the camera, microphone input, biometric hardware, motion sensors, photo/location-related status, network path, and more. Results are for reference; checks generally do not take photos, record audio, or complete biometric authentication. • Photo Cleaner: After you grant access, browse photos and videos, swipe to mark items for deletion, then review and clean up. Deletion follows the system Photos mechanism (e.g., Recently Deleted). • Location & history: When you ask for it, view your current location, save place notes, and review location history. • Important Contacts: Pick people via the system Contacts picker and organize groups, notes, and related content on this device. • Network Quality Test: Probe connectivity and latency to understand current network conditions; results can be stored on this device.
