No — Tidyia never permanently deletes anything on the spot. Every deletion goes through iOS's own Recently Deleted album, where it stays recoverable for 30 days, exactly like deleting from the Photos app directly.
No. Every scan — duplicate detection, similarity matching, quality analysis, privacy checks — runs entirely on your device. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there's no account or server involved at all.
Long-press (or use the context menu on) any photo in a review screen and choose Protect. Protected photos are excluded from every cleanup suggestion until you remove the protection yourself, from Smart Collections → Keepers.
Subscriptions are managed entirely through Apple, not Tidyia. Go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone, select Tidyia, and cancel there. Your Premium access continues until the end of the period you already paid for.
Free: Duplicate Photos, Screenshots, Large Files, Cleanup History. Premium adds Similar Photos, AI Photo Curator, Cleanup Copilot, Privacy Check, Storage Forecast, Video Cleaner, and more. See the app's Paywall screen for the full, current list.
