WhatsApp has emerged as the messaging app of choice for hundreds of millions of users around the world and such constant communication includes loads of memes, forwards, unwanted images, screenshots that end up hogging the usually limited storage space on our phones.
While deleting WhatsApp messages in bulk is easy - locate the WhatsApp images folder using a file explorer and delete all that you want to - but it is a little more complicated to separate the wheat from the chaff. Amidst all those images could also be photographs from the family picnic that your cousin had shared, something that you wouldn't want to be deleted. And lots of other important images too.
Magic Cleaner for WhatsApp saves you a lot of time and effort in freeing up space on your phone. The Android app (coming soon on iOS) scans your WhatsApp images (it will need additional permission to read photos, media, and files) and identifies junk images and also sorts them into categories for easy filtration.
Once Magic Cleaner is installed, Doctor Kleen, the app's friendly mascot guides through easy steps and analyses the images, 500 at a time. It takes a little while for the app to sift through the images and would need to be done in multiple batches if the number of images is large. Users can (and should) also take a second look at the images to check for any false positives. But it is far more convenient than having to do all of that manually.
In our tests, we found the image identification and filtration process to be quite accurate.
The app is a product from Siftr, a New Delhi-based startup founded by ex-Adobe employees. Siftr's other products include a photo organiser and a website builder. According to Siftr, Magic Cleaner uses "most advanced cutting technologies (deep learning and neural networks) to identify the junk photos in your WhatsApp."
