Phone Cleaner

Your phone isn't full.
It's just cluttered.

Cache, thumbnails, installers from updates that finished last spring, and the twelve near-identical photos of the same dog. Phone Cleaner finds them, shows you the list, and deletes only what you tick.

Where those 12.1 gigabytes actually went

A scan sorts everything it finds into six kinds and tells you the size of each one before you decide. This is a real breakdown from a mid-range phone that had never been cleaned.

App cache
Thumbnails, map tiles and preloaded feeds that apps rebuild the moment they need them again.
4.8 GB
Photos you took twelve of
Near-identical shots from the same few seconds, grouped so you can keep the sharp one.
2.4 GB
Leftover installers
APK files from updates and sideloads that finished installing months ago.
2.1 GB
Old downloads
Receipts, PDFs and zip files you opened once and never went back to.
1.6 GB
Chat media you already saved
Forwarded clips and stickers filling the WhatsApp and Telegram folders.
0.9 GB
Orphaned files and empty folders
Left behind by apps you uninstalled a long time ago.
0.3 GB

Phone cleaners have a bad reputation. Most of it is earned.

The category is full of apps that scare you into tapping and never say what happens next. So here is the whole arrangement, including the part most cleaner apps bury.

Nothing is deleted until you tick it
Every scan ends in a list with checkboxes. Files leave your storage when you select them and press delete, and not a moment before.
Your files stay on your phone
Scanning and deleting happen on the device. We do not share the contents of your files or other private content with advertisers.
No account, no sign-in
General use asks for no personal details at all. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information to anyone.
The app is free because of ads
Advertising SDKs pay for it, and they receive technical identifiers such as your device model and advertising ID. Every partner is named in the privacy policy.
Crashes and usage are measured
Firebase receives your device model, OS version, app version, crash reports and anonymous usage statistics, so bugs get found and fixed.
You can reset what advertisers see
Android lets you delete your advertising ID under Settings, Privacy, Ads. The app carries on working without it.

The privacy policy in three lines

The full version names every third party the app talks to and links to each of their own policies. This is the summary.

  • We never sell, rent or trade personal information
  • General use needs no personal details
  • Every ad and analytics partner is named

Questions people ask before installing

If yours is not here, write to secure.apps2019@gmail.com and a person will answer.

Can it delete a photo I wanted to keep?
Only if you tick it. Duplicate photos are grouped and the sharpest one in each group is left selected to keep, so the default action never removes your only copy.
Is clearing app cache actually safe?
Yes. Cache is the copy an app keeps so it does not have to fetch something twice. Android is built to have it disappear, and apps rebuild what they need. You stay signed in everywhere.
Why does it ask for access to all files?
To reach the folders other apps leave behind, Android offers no narrower permission than All files access. The app uses it to scan, analyse and clean storage, and for nothing else.
Why does the app show ads?
Because that is what pays for it. The advertising SDKs receive technical information such as your device model, app version and advertising ID. All of them are listed by name, with links to their own privacy policies, in ours.
Will it slow my phone down?
No. There is no background service and no scheduled wake-up. The app uses your battery only while it is open on screen.
How do I remove it and everything it stored?
Uninstall it, and anything the app kept on your phone goes with it. Information already held by our analytics and advertising partners is governed by their own policies, which are linked from ours, and you can reset your advertising ID in Android settings whenever you like.
