How Full review works
Quick clean

Clean without leaving Photos.

Wipe sits in the Share Sheet next to Messages and AirDrop and opens the same Quick Clean as the app: one preset for the whole batch, every photo shown as it is cleaned, then your clean copies. Cleaning from the Share Sheet is part of Wipe Pro.

  1. 1Select photos and videos in Photos
  2. 2Tap Share, then Wipe, then Clean
  3. 3Share the clean copies, or save them to Photos or Files

Up to 20 items at a time. Live Photos and videos that need a new compressed copy continue in Wipe.

  1. 1Wipe saves your selection securely
  2. 2Open Wipe from your Home Screen
  3. 3Quick Clean opens with those items

Waiting items are deleted after 7 days if you don’t open Wipe.

Everything that identifies you or where you were.

  • Location and capture time
  • Device, author and editing apps
  • Keeps camera settings
Lightest

Hide where it was taken, keep the rest.

  • GPS coordinates and altitude

Wipe Everything

The cleanest possible copy.

  • All removable metadata
  • Keeps only what’s needed to display it correctly
Quality preserved

Only the metadata changes.
Not a single pixel.

Most metadata removers save a new, recompressed copy. Wipe rewrites only the hidden details, copies your photo and video data as it is, then checks that it really is.

0pixels changed in cleaned JPEG and HEIC photos
1:1video and audio streams copied bit for bit in most videos
LiveLive Photos stay paired and keep playing
HDRHDR and Portrait data left exactly where they were

When a file can’t be copied as it is, Wipe tells you before it creates a new encoded version. Never silently.

FAQ

Questions before you clean

Does Wipe upload my photos?
No. Wipe reads and cleans your photos and videos on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account and there are no ads.
Will my photos lose quality?
JPEG and HEIC photos are copied without re-compression, so their pixels stay identical, and most videos keep their original video and audio streams. When a video needs a new compressed copy, Wipe asks before it makes one. A file Wipe can’t clean safely is left alone, and the app tells you so.
Are my original photos changed?
No. Wipe creates clean copies. Your originals stay exactly as they were in your library.
Can I clean photos from the Share Sheet?
Yes, with Wipe Pro. Select photos in Photos, tap Share and choose Wipe (if it isn’t listed, scroll the app row, tap More and enable it). It opens the same Quick Clean as the app, for up to 20 items at a time. Live Photos, videos that need a new compressed copy and bigger selections continue in the app, and the sheet explains why. Without Pro the sheet says so and nothing is saved.
Where do the clean copies go?
Save them to Photos, where they land in a dedicated Wipe album, save them to Files, or share them straight from Wipe or from the Share Sheet.
Does it work with videos and Live Photos?
Yes. You can clean photos, videos and Live Photos together in one batch in the app, and Live Photos stay Live Photos. From the Share Sheet, Live Photos continue in the app.
What happens to photos waiting in Wipe?
A selection the Share Sheet handed over stays on your iPhone, opens in Quick Clean when you open Wipe, and is deleted after 7 days if you don’t. The working copies the Share Sheet makes are deleted when you close it.
Which preset is the default?
Wipe Everything. Change it in Settings under Default preset, or tap Change in Quick Clean. Safe to Share keeps camera settings such as exposure, aperture and ISO and removes location, capture time, device, author and captions. Location Only removes just the location.
How much does Wipe cost?
Your first three cleans are free, up to five items each. After that, one purchase unlocks Wipe for good, including cleaning straight from the Share Sheet. There is no subscription, and you can restore your purchase from Settings.
Which iPhones does Wipe support?
Any iPhone running iOS 18 or later.
