Cleaning up your photo library is easier with Swipewipe and saves you time!
Swipewipe offers a simple yet highly effective way to manage your photo library by allowing you to quickly decide which photos to keep and which to delete. To help you remember to clean up regularly, the app can send daily notifications.
Swipewipe offers a 3-day free trial, after which you need to upgrade to a paid plan (weekly/annual options are available).
Manage and delete by category
One of Swipewipe's best features is its intuitive, colorful interface, which makes searching for images quick and easy.
You can browse through categories like Recents , Duplicates , or folders by month from the home screen to easily review the photos you've accumulated.
Swipe left to access additional categories, including Screenshots , Live Photos , and folders dedicated to your social media apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.
If you rely heavily on WhatsApp for chatting and have enabled automatic media saving, this option is especially useful as you're constantly receiving photos and videos. If you wish, you can prevent WhatsApp from saving photos to your library.
Once inside a folder, the app lets you swipe through photos like Tinder: Swipe right to keep and swipe left to delete (you can also use the buttons), making the cleanup process time-saving.
When viewing a specific photo, you can also bookmark it by tapping the Save icon on the right. This provides a quick way to access your favorite photos through the app's Bookmarks folder.
Because AI tools are now so common in applications, Swipewipe offers you the option to enhance photos using artificial intelligence . This can be quite useful, for example, when an image is a bit dark and needs brightening. You can do this instantly without leaving Swipewipe, although the AI enhancement tool doesn't receive suggestions but works automatically.
After cleaning up your folders monthly, you'll establish a habit of using Swipewipe. Every week, check your Recents , Screenshots , and WhatsApp folders to keep everything organized.
Recover accidentally deleted photos.
When quickly swiping through a folder, you might accidentally delete some photos you didn't intend to. If this happens, don't panic. Simply press the Back button at the top to recover the images.
After swiping through all the available images in a folder, Swipewipe will show you a summary of your photo cleanup activities. If you notice a photo that shouldn't have been deleted, tap the Trash icon to restore it.
In summary, remember that deleting images via Swipewipe will send them to the trash folder of your Gallery app on your iPhone or Android. To permanently delete them from your device, you also need to delete them from the trash. This also means that if a photo is accidentally deleted, you can still recover it before completing the final step.
See how much storage space you've saved.
After each swipe, Swipewipe will show you how much space you've saved by deleting photos.
If you want to see the total amount of space deleted, swipe right from the app's home screen and select My Stats .
