Gemini Photos - Clean up your Camera Roll

by•

Ever wondered where your iPhone storage goes? Most of it is probably useless photos, like those 20 pics you took to get one perfect shot. With Gemini Photos, you can keep just the good ones and remove similar shots, blurred pics, and other clutter in few taps

This app worth every penny. Using it since first RC in TestFlight. Saved me tons of space at iPhone and other devices because it removes blurry dupes that don't go to the cloud. Love it!

@pavlo_grozian Thanks for the feedback! 😌We're really glad you like it.

Looks great. How does this handle privacy concerns? is everything done on the device itself? are you accessing/processing/storing anything related to our photos on your own servers?

@chrisdolle Hey, thanks. Great question. All the processing is done 100% in the app. No data is being transferred to any servers. The scanning works offline, which also makes it convenient to use, for instance aboard a plane after a trip somewhere when the airplane mode is turned on and you're bored. 😜 Cheers

It's a good idea, but I tried and will not continue to use it. A few reasons: 1. Suggestions are not correct, which means I still need to go through every suggestion to make sure I didn't delete the photo I want to keep. For example, I have a few portrait photos, but the suggested best one is the one that my eyes are closed... 2. Feels dumb, I have similar photos because I applied filters through other apps like Instagram or VSCO, I want to keep them not others. 3. Some interactions are very complicated, there are photos I know I can let the app do whatever, I just need one, the app can delete the rest. There are no quicker ways for me to select them from the 1732 similar photos I just unlocked and delete them. It's probably faster if I just do it from the camera roll. Hope this will help. Looking forward to the next version.

@huangdun Thanks for the feedback, it’s very helpful! The “best result” functionality is definitely tricky, and we’re constantly working on improving the app’s suggestions. User preferences like which copies they’d rather keep are worth looking into as well.

If I'm not mistaken Google Photos have similar functionality or not? I have 10 similar photos of my dog and Google Photos take the best photo and delete other.

@nikolay_siabrenko are you sure that Google Photos can do it? They propose you only to delete cluttered photos and nothing more.

@oudedibbes That's really weird. We have submitted a new app version to the App Store with a couple of fixes of crashes like 4 hours ago. Hoping this would help in your case 🙏.

this is amazing — i love gemini and this evolution of the product makes total sense, as i mainly use it for photos

@juanbuis Thank you! We did listen to our users before coming up with this product. We've had countless interviews with our Gemini 2 customers where we've found out that iPhone photos are one of the key sources for duplicate files on people's Macs 🤓. And here we are 😀.

Pros: Clean, functional, exactly like MacPaw. Cons: Probably better to spend the 15$ a year subscription price on, say, more cloud storage and keep your duplicate photos :)

@bill_xiong Thanks for your feedback. The point on cloud storage seems quite valid. Nonetheless, we believe in the long term a cloud storage as a solution may only make things worse, creating even more mess in photos, thus not letting you enjoy the memories or at least be able to quickly find the photo you are looking for. Thanks again for your thoughts though🙏.

Very helpful APP to clean Photos on my iPhone and save Gigabytes of space.

Pros:

Easily finds unneeded photos and helps to delete them

Cons:

Sometimes suggests good photos as blurred

Change the business model into a one-time purchase and I might reconsider

Pros:

Idea seams ok; not bad at picking the wrong photos

Cons:

The subscription feels like a scam. I can't try and cancel.
