Description:● # 1 Utility app in Italy, Japan, Norway, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and more! • 'This is one of must have utilities if you are planing to sell your Apple device' - insidetopapps.com*Please read:The main purpose of 'iCleaner' is to clean the free space of your Apple device in order to protect your private information. Obtaining more free space is a side effect of cleaning process and the freed size depends on how much temporary files are stored in your iPhone/iPad/iPod. Generally, if you use many apps and downloaded much from the internet, it is more likely you get more free space.◦ See bottom for more review feedbacks!◎ What is this app for? → 'iCleaner' is intended to completely wipe out the data in the free space of your iPhone/iPad/iPod in order to prevent unwanted data recovery from your device. Because it needs to overwrite data all over the free space in your iPhone, the cleanup will take a while.◎ Do I need this app? → If you are planning to sell, refurbish your iPhone or just want to wipe out your private data(such as pics, docs, apps, movies, etc.) from the device, 'iCleaner' is just what you need.* iCleaner DOES NOT delete any content other than temporary files that you are currently using. It only cleans up contents such as pics, docs and etc. that you have already removed.◎ What do you mean by 'wiping out the data in free space'? → It is well known that deleted documents, pictures, etc., can be easily recovered from PCs by using programs available on the Internet. This is possible because the deleting process does not actually 'remove' data from your device. Instead, it just marks them as not used(available) for overwriting. The same thing happens for your iPhone, leaving the content inside the storage even the files are deleted. ▷ Usage 1. Delete the content you want to clean up from your iPhone. (If you are going to delete everything, go to 'Settings'->'General'->'Reset'->'Erase All Content and Settings' and then download 'iCleaner') 2. Choose 'Fast clean' or 'Safe clean' from iCleaner. 3. Push 'Start cleaning' button. * iCleaner cannot directly wipe out any alive(undeleted) data for cleaning. Please delete them first from the device, then start cleaning. ▷ Cleaning modes ◦ Fast mode : If you've never stored any secret data, choose this option. Because it wipes out the free space only one time, you can save time and battery of your iPhone. ◦ Safe mode: If you've stored any secret data such as banking data, passwords, etc., choose this option. It will use the DoD 5220.22-M algorithm to wipe out your free space securely. ▷ Reference → The cleaning process includes writing data into the whole free space. When the process is complete, iOS may clean up the temporary files(cached pictures, etc.) of your apps in iPhone which results in extra free space. ▷ Limitations → Because some data like address book is stored on your iPhone databases, they may not be wiped out until those blocks are released by the device driver.• Feedback for reviews:1. Cleaning(or wiping) itself does not give you more free space because it does not delete any file(s). iCleaner cleans memory space that is already a free space where the contents inside can be recovered, securing your privacy. What gives you more free space in many cases is when cleaning is almost complete, the free space of iPhone becomes zero for a short period of time and iPhone automatically removes temporary saved files from all the apps. So, depending on the size of all the temporary files, you can get little or huge extra free space. Also, the next update will include an option that will only do the wipe operation and does not remove any temporary files.2. Because cleaning process needs to fill all the free space with specific data, it takes a long time :)3. I don't have any permission for charging. Apple does. Overcharge may be because of tax or credit card verification..?
