The four things people write about most

Deletion does nothing

Sweepr was given limited photo access rather than full access. With limited access iOS lets an app see the photos you picked but refuses every deletion without an error. Open Settings, Apps, Sweepr, Photos, and choose Full Access.

A photo would not compress

Sweepr refuses when the saving would be under ten percent, and says so. That happens most often with photos already stored as HEIC at a high quality setting, where there is genuinely nothing left to win. It is working as intended.

I want my original back

Open the Photos app, go to Albums, Recently Deleted, and recover it. iOS keeps originals there for thirty days after Sweepr moves them.

I paid and Pro is not on

Open Sweepr, go to Settings and tap Restore Purchases while signed in to the Apple Account you bought with. If that does not do it, write with the date of purchase and the storefront.

Refunds

Purchases go through Apple, so refunds do too. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. To stop a subscription renewing, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions.

Everything else

The eleven questions people ask most, with their answers, live on the home page: what compression actually does to a file, what happens to the original, when Sweepr will not free up much space, whether it finds duplicates, and what it costs. They are kept in one place so the two copies cannot drift apart.
