Got Storage Problems on iPhone? Here’s What Actually Worked for Me
So I hit that “no storage left” wall (again) this week. And, before you ask, yes—I know I have a billion pics of my cat and, no, I don’t want to delete any of them. Anyway, after scouring a gazillion “cleanup” apps—most of which want your left kidney for a premium—I tripped over Clever Cleaner app for the iPhone and, uh, what is this, free forever?
I assumed there’d be a catch. Maybe it would slap me with an ad every eight seconds, or hide half the features unless I paid up. But…dead wrong. No ads. No pop-ups. No locked tools. It’s actually just…free?? How?? Not complaining!
What’s Under the Hood? (Quick rundown)
- Compress Videos & Photos: You ever try sending a 4K “Live” photo and your phone pouts? This nails both photos and videos. That “Live Photos Compression” module does its job in like, nanoseconds. Just tap, wait, done.
- Duplicate Finder: You snap twenty-five copies of the same sunset? I feel you. App finds ‘em in a blink. Boom, gone. (Or kept, you do you.)
- No Ads, No Guilt Trips: Not sure what cosmic accident made this possible, but enjoy it before the universe corrects itself.
Let’s Be Real: How Much Space Can You Actually Free Up?
I always hear “save gigs instantly” and roll my eyes. But for real: I clawed back almost 5GB after running the compression and duplicate checks. No noticeable drop in quality either, tho I might not notice if my fourth photo of a sandwich got pixelated. (Sorry, sandwich.)
My favorite part? There’s literally no “subscribe now to finish cleaning!” prompt. I waited for the rug pull, but it didn’t come.

So, Final Thoughts
Most iPhone “cleaner” apps are a joke—either swallowing your wallet or spamming you into oblivion. Clever Cleaner is the weird exception: totally free, all the crucial functions, no friction. If this is some kind of social experiment, I’m just along for the ride.
Anyone else using this and finding stuff even I missed? Also, still no ads for anyone else? Wild.
