Duplicatus

Duplicatus, listed as Photo Cleaner AI: Duplicatus, is an iPhone and iPad app from developer Alexander Petrovichev for clearing the space taken up by photos and videos. It is meant for people whose phone has run out of storage, and Alexander Petrovichev states that it can free up to 40% of a device's storage by finding and removing photos and videos that are not needed.

Duplicatus uses AI for a smart cleanup that finds similar, blurry and bad shots so only the best photos are kept, and a separate tab collects unsuccessful shots such as blurry, out-of-focus or otherwise unclear photos. Photos and videos can be sorted by date or size, and videos by size alone, so the largest files can be found and removed first.

Cleanup in Duplicatus runs through a swipe-to-delete mode that makes reviewing a gallery feel almost like a game. The app also gives instant access to media saved from messengers and social apps, which can be removed in a few taps. Feedback and bug reports go straight to the developer through the Contact me option in the app's Settings.

Duplicatus is free to download, and its Premium functionality is optional. In-app purchases include a Weekly subscription at 2,99 USD, a Monthly Subscription at 6,99 USD, a Yearly subscription at 19,99 USD or 22,99 USD, and Unlock application forever at 49,95 USD, and some purchases can be shared through Family Sharing. The app requires iOS 13.0 or iPadOS 13.0 or later and is available in English and 12 more languages.
