Features
How do the swipe gestures work?
It's simple: swipe left to delete a photo, swipe right to keep it, and swipe up to mark it as a favorite. The gestures are designed to be intuitive and fast.
Can I select multiple photos at once?
Yes! SwipeSweep supports batch operations. You can select multiple photos and perform bulk actions like delete, keep, or favorite.
Troubleshooting
The app isn't showing my photos
Make sure you've granted SwipeSweep permission to access your photo library. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos and ensure SwipeSweep is set to "All Photos".
SwipeSweep is running slowly
If you have a very large photo library (10,000+ photos), the initial scan may take some time. Try restarting the app or your device if performance issues persist.
I accidentally deleted important photos
Don't panic! Check your iPhone's "Recently Deleted" album first. Photos stay there for 30 days. You can also use SwipeSweep's undo function if the deletion was recent.
