MacPaw, which makes Mac and iOS apps, has released a new iPhone app called CleanMyPhone, which helps users free up storage by removing duplicate photos and cleaning up other unwanted images.
Declutter detects and scans your photos to find duplicates, screenshots, screen recordings, TikTok videos, app folders and blurred images.
That’s why you might want to have a look at some of the grouped photos before cleaning them.
In the Uniques category, you might find some images that you can delete.
If you don’t want the app to scan certain images, you can mark them as sensitive.
The move is notable given the pushback Apple has received on its compliance with the new EU regulation so far.
Though others have fought against Apple’s DMA rules, MacPaw has chosen to opt in — a one-way conversion that offers no ability, at present, to return to Apple’s existing rules.
The current version of Setapp offers dozens of apps for $9.99 per month and up, depending on the platform and number of devices.
While the service is being likened to an alternative app store, to be clear, it will involve a subscription for all-you-can access to its apps, which is not Apple’s App Store model.
As for developers looking for additional distribution, however, another channel for reaching iOS users could be beneficial if MacPaw’s terms are agreeable.
