AVG Technologies, an online security company for devices, data, and people, has introduced Smart Photo Cleaner, a new feature within the AVG Cleaner for Android application designed to help users regain lost mobile storage by identifying and removing unwanted photos.
Additional updates to the latest version of AVG Cleaner, the company’s mobile performance app, include a new, one-click dashboard overview that analyzes the device’s status and initiates a one-tap clean-up of hidden files, storage, and battery-draining apps.
“On average, we each carry 2GB of unnecessary photos on our smart devices,” says Ron Levy, senior product manager at AVG Technologies. “These files slow mobile performance and take up valuable space that people would rather use for more memorable pictures, useful apps, or new games. But manually editing your photo collection can be tedious and time-consuming. Smart Photo Cleaner does the dirty work for you, automatically finding photos you can do without, saving you time and improving your smartphone’s performance.”
AVG Cleaner for Android now includes:
- Smart Photo Cleaner – Automatically identifies duplicate, similar, and poor quality photos, so users can remove them from the device and free storage
- One-Click Dashboard Overview – Provides one-tap analysis of device performance, battery life, and storage, enabling users to fix, clean, and remove top resource hogs, bad photos, and unnecessary files
- Cache Cleaner – Identifies and cleans hidden and unused files to free space
- History Cleaner – Earmarks browser history and old call logs for deletion
- App Manager – Flags resource-hungry apps and helps users stop or delete them to free device storage
- Battery Manager – Helps users optimize battery life by automatically turning off power-sapping features and creating “battery profiles,” which adjust battery usage based on location
