How to clean up screenshots on iPhone automatically with Culr
Culr by MRVL clears screenshots from your iPhone camera roll automatically using scheduled cleanup that runs daily, weekly, or monthly without needing you to open the app. It detects screenshots instantly, groups them with similar images, and deletes only the ones you mark, with an iCloud safety check before every deletion.
Screenshot cleanup built into your camera roll
Most iPhone users accumulate screenshots faster than they realise. Instructions saved, receipts captured, QR codes scanned. Culr identifies every screenshot in your camera roll and lets you swipe through them one by one, marking each to keep or delete. Unlike iOS's built-in tools, Culr groups related screenshots together and shows you which ones are duplicates. When you've marked your choices, the app checks iCloud sync status before deleting anything, so you'll never lose a photo that hasn't backed up yet. The entire workflow is local to your device, nothing syncs to external servers.
Automatic scheduled cleanup
For ongoing control, Culr's Pro tier includes scheduled auto-clean. Set it to run daily, weekly, or monthly in the background. The app will automatically clear screenshots you've previously marked for deletion, and on subsequent runs, it can remove new screenshots without interrupting you. You retain full control: you review and mark what goes, the schedule just handles the execution. No surprise deletions, no surprise notifications. It's the fastest way to stop screenshots piling up without thinking about it every month.
Beyond screenshots: the full camera roll cleanup
Screenshots are only part of camera roll clutter. Culr also detects duplicates (50 per month on the free tier, unlimited in Plus), finds and removes blurry photos using sharpness scoring, ranks burst photos to highlight the best frames, and groups similar shots together so you can delete variations in bulk. For photographers or anyone managing thousands of images, Photographer Mode groups photos by shoot session (2-hour gaps), letting you cull an entire event's photos in one swipe workflow. A 14-day storage analytics dashboard shows exactly how many bytes you've freed and what's eating your storage.
WhatsApp and Telegram media cleanup
Screenshots often come with media files from messaging apps. Culr's WhatsApp bulk-delete tool clears all photos and videos received via WhatsApp in one action, a critical feature for UK users managing years of accumulated chat media. Telegram detection works similarly. This is separate from screenshot cleanup but works in the same app, so you can handle multiple sources of clutter in one place.

Frequently asked questions
Can Culr automatically delete screenshots without me reviewing them first?
No. You always review and mark screenshots for deletion first; the scheduled auto-clean only executes what you've already approved. This prevents accidental loss of important captures.
Will I lose photos if they haven't synced to iCloud yet?
No. Culr checks iCloud sync status before every deletion, even if the app deletes in the background. If a photo hasn't uploaded to your iCloud account, Culr won't remove it.
How often can I run scheduled cleanup?
Scheduled auto-clean runs daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your settings. You choose the frequency in the Pro tier.
Does Culr upload my photos to the cloud?
No. All processing, detection, and deletion happens locally on your phone. Nothing syncs to external servers.
Can Culr delete screenshots from WhatsApp and Telegram at the same time?
Culr handles WhatsApp and Telegram media separately from screenshot cleanup. You can delete both in one session, but as distinct actions, so you maintain control over what goes.
What happens if I accidentally delete a screenshot?
The swipe-cull workflow includes an undo button during your culling session. If you've already confirmed and closed the session, deleted photos remain in iPhone's Recently Deleted album for 30 days.
