What's NewVersion 2026.05.05

A fresh look. A faster cleanup.

This release brings a brand-new adaptive theme, a dedicated Settings hub, and a polished full-screen reviewer — plus rescans that are dramatically faster on big libraries and instant sharing to all the apps you use.

New

Features

  • Adaptive light & dark theme

    The whole app now follows your system appearance. The new palette uses a signature cyan-to-magenta gradient for primary actions and a soft, layered glass surface for cards.

  • Brand-new Settings tab

    A dedicated home for your subscription status, "What's New", App Store rating, share-the-app, Instagram, plus privacy, terms, and support — all in one place with the app icon and total storage freed up top.

  • Pinch to zoom in the full-screen reviewer

    Pinch, pan, or double-tap any photo while reviewing. Swipe-to-delete pauses while you're zoomed so you can inspect details safely.

  • Share photos and videos from review

    A new share button in the full-screen reviewer sends the original-quality file to Photos, Messages, Mail, AirDrop, WhatsApp, Instagram, Drive, Threads, ChatGPT, Telegram, TikTok, Notion, Google Maps and more.

  • Smarter cleanup celebrations

    Small cleanups now pop up a quick toast confirmation; big batches still get the full celebration screen so the moments that matter feel rewarding.

  • In-app rate prompt

    If the app has helped you free meaningful storage, we'll quietly ask once per version — never twice. Tapping "Not Now" gives you a 30-day cooldown.

  • Premium status everywhere

    The Settings entry now flips to a gold crown the moment you're a Premium subscriber, with a clear "Go Premium" call-to-action when you're not.

Improved

Performance & polish

  • Up to 10× faster rescans

    Video frame fingerprints, AI category labels, and reverse-geocoded locations now persist between scans, so the second pass is nearly instant.

  • Faster duplicate detection on large libraries

    Photo similarity now uses bucketed hashing so finding duplicates among ten thousand photos completes in moments instead of seconds.

  • Full-photo viewing

    The full-screen reviewer now shows the entire frame instead of a center-cropped square — every pixel is visible, regardless of the photo's aspect ratio.

  • Subscription transparency

    Auto-renew terms now appear right above the upgrade button, and Premium status correctly reflects expiration, refunds, and Apple-granted grace periods.

  • Tab memory after scanning

    Scans triggered from any tab now return you to that tab when finished, instead of jumping you to a different one.

  • Refined gradients and surfaces

    Linear gradients on primary buttons and category cards now blend cleanly with the surrounding glass material. The home and results screens read sharper in both light and dark mode.

Fixed

Bug fixes

  • Empty placeholders in All Photos

    Deleting from a category, the swipe reviewer, or the system Photos app no longer leaves blank placeholder thumbnails behind in the All Photos grid.

  • Video audio

    Videos now play with sound regardless of the silent switch — matching the behavior of every standard video app on iOS.

  • Photos shared to other apps now recognized as images

    Receiving apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.) now consistently decode shared photos as images rather than opaque attachments.

  • Toasts in detail screens

    Confirmation toasts now appear correctly when deleting from category detail or All Photos, instead of being hidden behind the sheet.

  • Subscription verification

    Apple's transaction verification stream now logs and gracefully handles unverified renewal payloads instead of silently dropping them.
