CleanuplyDelete iPhone screenshots in bulk — safely.
Most iPhones have 2,000–8,000 forgotten screenshots quietly taking up space. Cleanuply finds them all, groups them by date, and lets you bulk-delete with one tap. Everything happens on-device, and the 30-day Recently Deleted safety net is your backup.
Free to scan. Average sweep reclaims 2.4 GB.How Cleanuply clears your screenshots
Four steps. No uploads, no auto-delete, no surprises.
Step 1 — Find every screenshot in your library
Cleanuply uses Apple's PhotoKit to identify every asset tagged as a screenshot — instant and on-device. The Screenshots category card on Home shows the count and total storage.
Step 2 — Filter by age
Most screenshots over 90 days old are forgotten. Cleanuply lets you filter by date so you can sweep through old captures while keeping recent ones for reference.
Step 3 — Bulk select with one tap
Select all, deselect a few, or use the smart toggles (e.g., 'select everything older than 6 months'). The keeper logic prioritizes anything you've recently shared or favorited.
Step 4 — Confirm and reclaim
Selected screenshots go to Recently Deleted for 30-day recovery. Storage frees up immediately if you empty Recently Deleted, or wait the 30 days for automatic cleanup.
The screenshots you actually have
An honest taxonomy of what's in your screenshots album right now.
Receipts and confirmations
Order confirmations, parking receipts, ticket QR codes — useful for a week, dead weight after.
Article and tweet captures
Things you screenshotted to read later. Be honest: did you read them?
App tutorials and setup screens
Captures from when you were figuring out a new app. Long since useless.
Map and direction screenshots
From trips you've already taken. Easy bulk-clear by date.
Conversation screenshots
Dramatic group-chat moments. Harder to delete emotionally, but rarely worth the GB.
Game scores and high marks
Your old chess.com puzzle streak from 2 years ago. Adorable. Also clutter.
Most of these survive in your library because deleting one at a time is tedious and bulk-selecting in Apple Photos is laggy past a few hundred items. Cleanuply handles thousands at once because the selection happens at the metadata layer — the file size and capture date are already known, so toggling "select everything from before 2024" is instant.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask before doing a screenshot sweep.
How do I delete all screenshots at once on iPhone?
In Apple Photos: open the Screenshots album (Albums → Media Types → Screenshots), tap Select, then drag across to multi-select. iOS has a soft limit for batch operations and selecting thousands at once is laggy. Cleanuply's bulk-select is smoother because it works at the metadata layer — selecting 5,000 screenshots takes the same time as selecting five.
How many screenshots does the average person have?
Power iPhone users accumulate 2,000–8,000 screenshots over a few years. Across our user base, the average reclaimed storage from a screenshot sweep is 2.4 GB. The most we've seen in a single session is 38,000 screenshots clearing 11 GB.
Will Cleanuply delete screenshots I want to keep?
No. Every deletion requires your explicit tap. Cleanuply also surfaces signals like 'this screenshot was shared recently' or 'this is in your Favorites album' so you can keep meaningful ones. Protection rules let you exclude entire albums permanently.
What's the difference between a screenshot and a screen recording?
A screenshot is a still image of your iPhone screen. A screen recording is a video of the screen, made via Control Center. Cleanuply has separate categories for both — see the Screen Recordings category for the video-side cleanup.
Can I recover screenshots I deleted by mistake?
Yes. Deleted screenshots go to Photos → Albums → Recently Deleted, where they stay for 30 days. Open Recently Deleted, select the items, and tap Recover. After 30 days iOS removes them permanently.
Does Cleanuply work on screenshots saved to Files or Notes?
No. Cleanuply only processes assets in the Photos library. Screenshots saved into Files, Notes, or third-party apps aren't visible. Apple's Photos app is the only system-wide screenshot store, so the vast majority of screenshots end up there by default.
Five minutes. A few thousand screenshots. Gigabytes back.
