CleanSwipe used to wait three days and three clean-ups before it would ask what you thought of it. Most people clean up once or twice, so it almost never asked. Now it may ask on the screen that shows what you cleared: after a clean-up of 500 MB or more, or after your second clean-up. It never asks after a clean-up that failed, and never more than three times a year. A line on the results screen now reads "1 item" instead of "1 items".

Tap a photo on a group card to see it big on the card; tap it again and it opens full screen. Swipe through the rest of the group without closing it, and decide right there: the same Keep and bin buttons are at the bottom. Come back out and the group shows what you chose. Tap a photo or file in the bin to see it big, with a Put back button. "Pick up where you left off" now goes straight back to sorting instead of the results screen — and works after a fresh scan, which it did not. The count that climbs while a scan runs is the number of things you will sort, and it climbs through every step — including the long one at the end. Each category on the scope screen says how many photos, videos, or files are in it, not just how much space. Backing out of the system's delete confirmation now stops everything, files included. The bin now survives the app being closed: everything you sent there is still there when you come back. Smart Cleanup shows a picture beside every item, and tapping it opens the item full screen with the same Keep and bin buttons. The home screen says "Start sorting" until you have answered a card, and "See what's ready to bin" once you have answered them all. Larger text sizes: the Keep and bin buttons stack instead of squeezing, group cards scroll instead of cutting off, and the header keeps its glyphs. Swiping between photos in the full-screen view is smooth: the next one slides in already loaded. Swiping cards on the sorting screen follows your finger exactly, and the card behind rises as you go.

Picking up where you left off now works the way it should. After you delete photos, the app used to show you the same group again with blank frames where the deleted ones had been. Deleted photos now leave the results the moment they're gone, so the next card is one you haven't seen. If you switch to another app mid-swipe, the card you were on is ready when you come back instead of sitting frozen. The screen stays on while a scan runs, so you can set the phone down. When an image can't be shown, the card says why in plain words. The photo a group is keeping is never offered for deletion, restoring your purchase no longer signs you out when the App Store cannot be reached, and every file is checked one last time before it is deleted.

Photos kept in iCloud now show up. If your iPhone stores some photos in iCloud to save space — most full phones do — those came up blank before. They appear now, and the app still works with no network at all. New in Settings: Grouping. Drag it tighter and only near-identical shots share a card. Drag it looser and the same subject gathers whenever you took it, so every sunset lands together instead of scattered across years. Takes effect on your next scan. Undo puts back everything. Undoing a group used to leave one photo behind in the bin: the one the app had suggested you keep. If an image ever can't be loaded, the card now tells you why instead of sitting empty. Deleting is more careful too — the app no longer reports a photo as deleted unless it actually deleted it. Faster, and much lighter on memory, on large libraries. Thank you to the tester who found the iCloud problem.

Photos and videos now load properly on large libraries. A group of similar shots could come up blank, and opening one full screen could sit on a spinner that never finished. Both are fixed. Images load faster and use far less memory, and if one ever does fail, the app tells you why instead of spinning. A duplicates card now states its numbers plainly: how many copies you have, how many go to the bin, and which one is kept. It always kept one. Now it says so before you decide. In Smart Cleanup, every photo is now listed by the date it was taken. It used to show an internal identifier, which told you nothing about the picture. The swipe is smoother, and the app has a new blue look throughout. Thank you to the tester who reported the loading problem.

Fixes to the swipe deck. • The card behind the one you're deciding on no longer shows through it. • A photo now fills more of its card instead of sitting in a dark field. • VoiceOver reaches everything in the deck, including what used to need a swipe.
