iPhone cleaner app without a weekly subscription

On iPhone, a cleaner app can only work on your photos, videos and contacts: it can't clear caches or System Data. Look for one that analyses on your device, lets you review everything before deleting, and doesn't use weekly subscriptions. PhoneDiet is free to try, with a yearly plan or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Using iOS's built-in tools

  1. Check the pricing on the App Store page under In-App Purchases. Weekly plans at $5–12 add up to hundreds a year.
  2. Read the privacy label. Data Not Collected means the app doesn't collect data from you.
  3. Avoid apps promising to boost speed, remove viruses or clean junk; those claims don't apply on iOS.

The faster way with PhoneDiet

  1. Download PhoneDiet free. Scan your whole library and see every size before paying anything.
  2. Delete up to 50 items a day for free.
  3. Premium removes the limit and adds Similar Photos: yearly (with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers) or a one-time Lifetime purchase. No weekly plans.

Prices vary by country. Subscriptions renew until cancelled in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions.
