Answers to common questions about removing metadata from photos, videos and Live Photos with Wipe.
Cleaning photos and videos
Does Wipe upload my photos or videos?
No. Wipe reads and cleans everything on your iPhone. Your media, filenames and metadata are never uploaded. See the Privacy Policy.
What do the cleaning presets remove?
Safe to Share removes location, author and copyright, capture dates, device and lens details, editing software and captions, and keeps camera settings such as exposure and ISO. Location Only removes just the location. Wipe Everything removes all metadata that isn’t needed to display the photo or video correctly.
Does Wipe reduce photo or video quality?
For JPEG, HEIC and most videos Wipe copies the original image or video data unchanged and rewrites only the metadata — that’s what Quality preserved means. If a file needs a new encoded copy, Wipe tells you before processing.
Are my original photos changed?
No. Wipe always creates new clean copies; your originals stay exactly as they were. Delete them yourself in Photos if you no longer need them.
Where are the clean copies saved?
In your Photos library, in an album called Wipe. You can also share them directly from the result screen.
Can I clean photos from the Share Sheet?
Yes, with Wipe Pro. In Photos, select items, tap Share and choose Wipe. If Wipe 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. Without Pro the sheet tells you so and nothing is saved; your first three cleans are in the app.
Why did the Share Sheet send my photos to the app?
Live Photos, videos that need a new compressed copy, and selections of more than 20 items are cleaned in the app. The sheet shows what was saved, why, and what to do: close it and open Wipe, and Quick Clean opens with those items. Waiting items are deleted after 7 days if you don’t open Wipe.
Do Live Photos stay Live Photos?
Yes. Wipe cleans both the photo and the video part and keeps them paired, so the copy saved to Photos still plays as a Live Photo. Live Photos are cleaned in the app, also when you start from the Share Sheet.
Purchases
What does the free version include?
Three free cleans of up to five photos or videos each, with every preset and file type, in the app. The one-time lifetime unlock removes the limits and adds cleaning straight from the Share Sheet. There is no subscription.
How do I restore my purchase?
Open Wipe, go to Settings and tap Restore Purchase while signed in with the Apple Account you used to buy the unlock.
How do I request a refund?
Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
