On-device processing keeps photo content involved in grouping and review on the phone. Cloud processing sends photos or derived data to a remote service, which adds a separate privacy decision.
After privacy consent and Photos or media permission, the foreground app reads authorized photos, videos, album information, and operation results through system media-library APIs.
Similar-photo analysis uses thumbnail features on the device and does not upload original photos or videos. Candidate groups help with discovery but do not decide what should be kept.
Privacy and deletion safety are separate concerns. Preview each image, mark only unwanted items, and inspect the final confirmation list before removal.
