Scrub is a photo cleaner for iPhone. Clean up your camera roll and free up storage by swiping photos, scrolling videos and sweeping away duplicates.
Scrub
Clean up your camera roll
Swipe through your photos to keep or delete them, scroll your videos in a full screen feed, and let Sweep find duplicates, similar shots and screenshots. Nothing is deleted until you confirm, and deleting always goes through Apple's own check.
Three Ways to Clean
Photos, videos or the whole library. Start wherever your storage goes.
Swipe
Swipe left to delete and right to keep, one photo at a time. Start from a date, just your screenshots, or the newest, biggest, oldest or a random mix. Changed your mind? Undo.
Scroll
Your videos in a full screen feed, biggest first. Flick up for the next one and tap Delete to add it to your delete list. Tap again to take it off.
Sweep
Scrub checks your library and sorts what you can clear into piles, with the space each one takes. Review a pile and clear it in one go.
What Sweep Finds

Screenshots
Every screenshot in one place.
Screen recordings
Old screen recordings, which add up fast.

Photos of receipts, papers and documents.

Shots that did not come out.
