Straight answers about what the app does to your files.

SpaceFixer compares photos on-device — nothing is uploaded — to group exact duplicates and visually similar shots. You always see the group before deciding; grouping is a suggestion for review, not an automatic action.

SpaceFixer saves a smaller copy first. Photos then asks for permission to move the original to Recently Deleted. If you decline, the original stays and you keep the new copy. Bytes in Recently Deleted are not free until you empty that album in Photos.

An on-device check flags media that may need a private review. Matches start unselected and covered. You choose delete, hide in Photos, or move to the Vault — nothing happens automatically. Results are suggestions, not certainty.

An encrypted on-device library for media, PDFs and private contacts you choose. It unlocks with Face ID, your device passcode or a Vault-only code, plus a recovery code if you switch devices. Content never leaves your iPhone to a SpaceFixer server.

Open Contact care, review a suggested group, and choose which contact remains primary. SpaceFixer shows a before-and-after summary — including that synced accounts may propagate the change — before merging. No group merges automatically.

Open Settings on your iPhone → your Apple ID → Subscriptions → SpaceFixer → Cancel. You can also visit apple.com/account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

Photos and Contacts access let on-device features work. Face ID (or a Vault-only code) protects the Private Vault. Your media and contacts are not uploaded to a SpaceFixer server.
