## Description

Backspace frees up space on your phone by letting you decide, one photo at a time.<br><br>The analysis runs on your device. It finds what takes up room without adding anything: exact duplicates, runs of near-identical shots, the screenshots that piled up, and your heaviest videos. You see how many bytes each category holds before anything is touched.<br><br>Nothing is deleted permanently. Everything goes to your phone&#39;s trash and stays recoverable for 30 days.<br><br>Five ways to sort<br><br>Swipe to clean: one photo at a time, left to delete, right to keep. With no limit on swipes.<br>Exact duplicates: file-for-file copies, grouped together. The best one is kept by default.<br>Similar photos: bursts and second attempts, grouped by resemblance. You keep the one you want.<br>Screenshots: the ones you had forgotten.<br>Large videos: above a threshold you set yourself.<br><br>Before every deletion<br><br>A confirmation screen shows what is about to go, as a count and in bytes. The button names the number of items and where they are going. You can take any item off the list up to the last moment.<br><br>Your photos stay on your phone<br><br>No server, no account, no sync. The analysis, the thumbnails and the fingerprints stay on the device. The whole journey works with no connection.<br><br>What it costs<br><br>Backspace is free. There is no subscription, and there will not be one. No limit on swipes, nothing put out of reach behind a payment. A single purchase removes the ads and opens up one-tap selection; without it, everything stays selectable by hand, without limit.<br><br>Twelve languages<br><br>French, English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Simplified Chinese. Arabic is supported right to left, swipe direction included.<br><br>Accessibility<br><br>Works with TalkBack. Every gesture keeps its button equivalent. System text sizes are followed up to the largest accessibility settings.<br><br>Android 11 or later.
