Does deleting duplicate photos permanently remove them?

Deleted photos go to the Recently Deleted album and are held for 30 days before automatic permanent deletion. You can manually empty Recently Deleted at any time to immediately recover the space.

Will deleting duplicates affect iCloud Photo Library?

Yes — if you use iCloud Photos, deletions sync across all your devices. If you delete a photo on your iPhone, it disappears from iCloud and your other Apple devices too. Review carefully before deleting.

How many duplicate photos does the average iPhone have?

It varies widely, but users running EverClean AI for the first time typically find 200–1,500 near-duplicate or redundant photos. Burst shooting and social media screenshots are the most common sources.

Can I recover a photo I accidentally deleted?

Yes, as long as it's within 30 days. Open Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted and restore the photo. After 30 days it's permanently gone.

Is it safe to let an app access my photos?

EverClean AI processes all photos entirely on-device — nothing is uploaded to any server. You can grant Full Access in Settings > Privacy > Photos and the app will never transmit your data.
