Your iPhone's photo library is probably a digital mess.

Smart Mode changes this by using advanced on-device algorithms to automatically detect and categorize photos that are prime candidates for deletion — all while keeping your data completely private.

What Makes Smart Mode Different

Unlike manual photo cleanup that takes hours, Smart Mode uses image fingerprinting technology to automatically scan your entire library and identify three key problem areas: exact duplicates, visually similar photos, and blurry or out-of-focus shots. The system also flags large files over 5MB that might be consuming unnecessary storage space.
