Contact Photos Phone Cleaner Support

I read the reviews but thought I’d try it anyway..... PROS: 1. It’s free as far as I could tell. 2. There are ads but they are very small line items, after a few minutes of using the app I barely noticed them. 3. There was no pressure to upgrade to a paid version. I’m not certain there is one as there was never an ad or other indication one was available. 4. It’s easy to use once you get the hang of it. I didn’t see a tutorial but as I said it’s simple. CONS: 1. I believe it somehow picks up and shows shows photos I thought I’d already deleted such as pre-edit copies. 2. I selected several hundred photos to delete and when I pressed the remove button it turned red as another reviewer said, with the same results: nothing happens. 3. When photos remained on the page I went to my photo albums and looked for the photos I’d marked for deletion, they were all still there. If there were instructions as to how to use the app maybe they would tell you how to delete photos but as it is I’ll just go to my photo albums and delete them there, it’s pretty much the same process.

I like that this app is free. It did show me my duplicate photos and allow me to mark the ones I was to remove. If I have a few selected photos, then the “delete selected” button will remove the photos. But, I found that if I select more than 15 photos to delete, the “delete selected” button doesn’t work. The screen will just flash and stay on the same “remove photos” screen. This is a nuisance. It would take a long time to clean up my photos by removing a few photos at a time.

I appreciated being able to compare each photo it selected as a duplicate. My only difficulty is it seemed to include all the individual frames of a gif. It seems like deleting any of them would make the gif not run or not run smoothly, so I ended up hiding all those that I thought were from gifs — and yet I didn't see a way to tell for sure from within the app.
