Frequently Asked Questions

How do I delete photos?
Tap the Trash button in the top bar (its badge shows how many photos are waiting). Review the photos, then tap "Delete N Photos". iOS asks you to confirm. Deleted items go to the Photos app's Recently Deleted album for up to 30 days. Protected favorites are never deleted.
Can I recover deleted photos?
Photos in the Rollwipe trash can be restored anytime before you delete them. After you delete them, they stay in the Photos app's "Recently Deleted" album for up to 30 days, where you can recover them.
What does protecting a photo do?
Double-tapping a photo marks it as a favorite in your device's Photos app and protects it in Rollwipe. Protected favorites are never deleted. Double-tap again to unprotect it.
How do I filter photos by date?
Tap the filter button at the top of the screen (shows current filter like "All Photos"). You can choose quick filters or select a specific year and month to focus on photos from that time period.
What happens if I close the app?
Your progress is saved automatically. Photos in your trash, your review history, and all settings persist even if you close the app. The Trash button shows a badge with the number of photos waiting.
How do I undo a swipe?
Undo is a Rollwipe Pro feature. Tap the undo button to undo your last swipe and bring the photo back. Press and hold it to open History and step back through your whole session.
What is Free Up Space?
Tap the drive icon in the top bar. Free Up Space shows your Largest photos and videos (by size), Exact Copies, and Similar photos (bursts and near-repeats), with the best copy marked Keep. Scans use file sizes and image fingerprints made on your device, which never leave it. A fourth tab, Shrink, saves smaller copies of Live Photos (as stills) and videos; the originals go to Rollwipe's Trash for you to confirm. Everyone can scan and see the results; Rollwipe Pro moves the extras to Trash in one tap and runs Shrink.
What does Rollwipe Pro include, and how do I cancel or restore it?
Rollwipe is free to try with 50 swipes a day. Rollwipe Pro is an optional subscription: $19.99 per year or $3.99 per month (or local equivalent). New Yearly subscribers may get a 3-day free trial where offered. Pro includes unlimited swiping, every Free Up Space result, one-tap clearing and Shrink, undo and undo history, Add to Album (drag a photo up while swiping), the Private Vault, and removing or editing location and metadata. To cancel, go to Settings โ€บ [your name] โ€บ Subscriptions on your device, or use the app's Settings โ€บ Rollwipe Pro row. To restore Pro on a new device, tap "Restore Purchases" in the app.
What is the Private Vault?
A Rollwipe Pro feature that hides photos using the Photos app's Hidden album, unlocked with Face ID (handled by iOS; Rollwipe never receives biometric data). Move a photo there from the โ€ฆ button below it, and open the Vault from Settings.
What do the flame and Today screen show?
The flame in the top bar is your daily streak: review a few photos each day to keep it going. Tap it to open Today, with your progress and photos taken on this day in past years. Home Screen widgets show your streak, what's in Trash and On This Day; their data stays on your device.
What does Remove Location & Metadata do?
It's a Pro option in the โ€ฆ button below the photo. It saves a new copy of the photo without its location, capture date, camera and lens details or maker notes. The original photo is unchanged.
Where are the settings?
Tap the gear icon in the top left of the main screen.
Does Rollwipe upload my photos anywhere?
No. Rollwipe works entirely on your device. Your photos never leave your phone and are never uploaded to any server. See our Privacy Policy for more details.
How do I share a photo to another app?
Tap the โ€ฆ button below the photo, then tap "Share". This opens the iOS share sheet where you can send the photo to any app, save it, AirDrop it, and more.
