WhatsApp media cleaner
With Save to Photos turned on, WhatsApp copies every photo and video you receive into your camera roll, and from there into iCloud Photos. Clean Kit finds the WhatsApp media saved in your library so you can review it and delete it in bulk.

Why WhatsApp fills your library
Group chats bring a steady stream of memes, forwarded videos and photos. With Save to Photos on, each one is copied into your camera roll, mixed in with your own photos, and then uploaded to iCloud Photos too. The Photos app has no WhatsApp album, so they’re hard to find.
What Clean Kit does
Clean Kit’s WhatsApp cleaner finds photos and videos saved from WhatsApp in your library and groups them for review. Select what you don’t need and delete it in bulk. Everything goes to Recently Deleted first.
To clean media stored inside WhatsApp as well, follow our guide to deleting WhatsApp media on iPhone.
Frequently asked questions
Does deleting WhatsApp media from Photos delete it from my chats?
No. The copy in your Photos library is separate from the copy inside WhatsApp. Clean Kit cleans the copies in your Photos library.
How do I stop WhatsApp saving to my camera roll?
In WhatsApp, go to Settings → Chats and turn off Save to Photos.
