How Similar Photos Detection Works
Ever wonder how PhoneCleanKit finds those nearly identical photos in your library? Let's dive into the technology behind our Similar Photos feature.
The Problem
We've all been there - you take multiple shots of the same scene, trying to get the perfect photo. Before you know it, you have dozens of nearly identical images taking up precious storage space.
Our Solution: Smart Detection
PhoneCleanKit uses advanced algorithms to analyze your photos and identify groups of similar images. Here's how it works:

Each photo in your library is analyzed to create a unique "fingerprint" based on:
Similarity Scoring
Photos are compared against each other using their fingerprints. When two photos have a similarity score above our threshold, they're grouped together.
Smart Grouping
Similar photos are organized into groups, with the app suggesting which photo in each group is the "best" based on:
Privacy First
All of this processing happens entirely on your device. Your photos never leave your iPhone, and we never have access to your images or the analysis results.
