How to clean a crowded iPhone photo library
Bole Photo Tidy is live on the iOS App Store. With Photos permission, it provides on-device similar-photo grouping, album-based review, and confirmation before deletion, so you can handle screenshots and bursts before harder comparisons.

Task
Review similar iPhone photos
Focus
Screenshots, bursts, repeated saves
Rule
Preview locally, confirm deletion, and back up important photos first
Authorize only the photos you want to organize
The app can only work with the Photos access granted by iOS. Limited access means a limited cleanup scope, which you can change explicitly in system settings.
Handle screenshots and bursts first
Old screenshots, failed bursts, and repeated saves are usually easier to judge. Clear these in small batches before comparing similar photos from important events.
Keep the clearest or most complete version
Compare focus, expressions, framing, receipt details, and edited versions. If an image contains unique information, similarity alone is not a reason to remove it.
Recently Deleted is a window, not a backup
iOS retention rules control recovery after deletion. Back up irreplaceable photos before cleanup and check Recently Deleted immediately after a large batch.
What to Know Before You Start
Photos access controls the cleanup scope
The app cannot organize items outside the photo permission granted by iOS.
Similar photos still need human review
Alternate framing, expressions, and edits may all be worth keeping.
