  • ✓ Secret contacts list
  • ✓ Password-protected notes

iPhone Users Love CleanVault

★★★★★ 4.8 / 5 on the App Store

"Freed 12 GB in 10 minutes!"

I had no idea how many duplicate photos I had. CleanVault found over 6,000 similar shots and let me delete them all at once. My iPhone is like new again.

"Finally a real private vault"

The secret space feature is exactly what I needed. My private photos are actually hidden now, not in Apple's "hidden album" that anyone can find.

"Swipe to delete is genius"

The swipe feature is so satisfying. I cleared 3 years of junk in one evening. Contact cleaner found 40+ duplicates too. Two problems, one app.

Priya R.

★★★★★

"Best storage cleaner on the App Store"

I've tried 5 other cleaners. None come close to CleanVault's AI for finding similar (not just identical) photos. Recovered 8 GB on the first scan.

"Compression is a game changer"

I compress all my old videos instead of deleting them. They look the same but take up half the space. Brilliant.

Emma L.
iOS User
★★★★★

"Super simple and actually works"

Downloaded skeptically but found 4.2 GB of duplicates instantly. The interface is clean, nothing feels overwhelming. Exactly what I needed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CleanVault free to download?

Yes, CleanVault is completely free to download from the App Store. Core features — duplicate photo detection, swipe clean, and contact cleaner — are available for free. Optional premium features are available via in-app purchase for power users.

Does CleanVault upload my photos to the cloud?

Absolutely not. All photo analysis, duplicate detection, and processing is done entirely on your device using on-device machine learning. Your photos never leave your iPhone and are never sent to any server, period.

Is it safe to delete the photos CleanVault suggests?

Yes. CleanVault always shows you exactly which photos will be deleted before anything is removed. You review each group of duplicates and confirm the deletion. Deleted photos also go to your Recently Deleted album first, giving you a 30-day safety net.

How much storage can I recover?

Results vary by library size. Most users recover 3–8 GB from duplicate photos alone. With video cleanup and compression combined, 8–15 GB is common. Users with large libraries have recovered 20+ GB. See our full storage guide for tips.

How does the Private Vault work?

CleanVault's Secret Space is a Face ID and passcode protected vault completely separate from your Photos app. Photos, videos, notes, and contacts stored in the vault are completely invisible to iOS apps. Learn more about hiding private photos.

Can CleanVault clean my iPhone contacts?

Yes. The contact cleaner scans your address book and finds exact duplicates, similar-named contacts, contacts with no phone number, and contacts with no name. See our contact cleaning guide.

Does CleanVault work with iCloud Photos?

Yes. CleanVault works with your photo library whether you use iCloud Photos or store locally. If you use iCloud Photos, deletions sync to iCloud after confirmation.

What is the HEIC to JPG converter?

iPhones save photos in HEIC format — very efficient but not universally compatible. CleanVault converts HEIC photos to JPG so you can share them anywhere. Read our full HEIC to JPG guide.
