Similar photos
Bursts and “one more just in case” shots — same size, taken seconds apart — are grouped together. The first of each group is marked Keep and the rest are selected, so clearing a group is one tap. Change any choice before you delete.

Swipely finds similar shots, exact duplicates, old screenshots and large videos in your library, and lets you swipe through a month at a time. Everything is scanned on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is deleted until you confirm.

Three steps
Swipely does the sorting. You make every decision, and nothing goes until you confirm.
See what it findsSwipely asks for your photos only when you open a photo tool, and for contacts only when you open the contacts cleaner. If you allow only some photos, it only sees those.
Similar shots, duplicates, screenshots and large videos, each with a count and an estimated size. Or pick a month and swipe.
Only what you selected is deleted, and for photos your phone asks you to confirm first. On iPhone, deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days.
What it finds
Real photos, videos and contacts you can look at and decide on. No “junk” counters, no RAM boosts, no scary numbers.
Bursts and “one more just in case” shots — same size, taken seconds apart — are grouped together. The first of each group is marked Keep and the rest are selected, so clearing a group is one tap. Change any choice before you delete.
Copies of the same photo or video, the kind messaging apps and downloads leave behind. The original is kept; the copies are selected for you.
Pick a month and go through it one photo at a time: swipe left to delete, right to keep, undo if you change your mind. Nothing is removed until you confirm at the end.
Screenshots you took once and never needed again, and screen recordings saved as videos, gathered in one place so they are easy to clear.
Videos longer than a minute, your largest photos and videos first, and photos from years ago, sorted by year. Sizes are estimates, shown with ≈, never a promise.
Contacts with the same name or number, and entries with no number or email. When there are copies, the most complete one is kept.
The difference
A cleaner should show you what it found and let you decide. That is the whole difference.
| Aspect | A typical cleaner app | Swipely |
|---|---|---|
| Where the scan runs | Often unclear | On your phone — nothing uploaded |
| “Junk” and “RAM boost” counters | Big numbers to make you tap | None — only real photos, videos and contacts |
| Deleting | One tap “Clean all” | You review, then your phone asks to confirm |
| Similar photos | Pick them out yourself | Grouped, with the first of each kept for you |
| Account | Often required | None |
Why it is different
Swipely never deletes anything on its own. It finds, sorts and suggests; the delete button is always yours, and for photos your phone asks once more before anything goes.
From the review screens in the app.
FAQs
What people ask before they let an app near their photo library.
No. The scan runs on your phone and your photos, videos and contacts are never uploaded. The app has no server to upload them to.
Never. Swipely only selects; you press delete and confirm, and for photos and videos your phone asks once more before anything is removed.
It groups photos of the same size taken seconds apart and marks the first of each group Keep. You can keep any other shot instead, or keep them all.
On iPhone, deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days. On Android it depends on your phone and gallery app, so check before you confirm.
Phones do not report the exact size of every photo and video to apps, so Swipely estimates from the resolution and length. That is why sizes are shown with ≈.
No. Those counters mostly measure things the phone already manages on its own. Swipely works on what really takes space and attention: photos, videos and contacts you can see and decide on.
Yes. There is no subscription and no account. The app may show ads to keep it free.
Something it missed, something it grouped wrongly, or a tool you wish it had — it goes to the person who builds the app.
