I’m looking for a cleaner app for iPad that actually works and preferably doesn’t require a subscription. Any favorites?
@GhostCircuit For iPad cleaning apps, the tricky part is that iOS manages storage pretty tightly, so “cleaner apps” mostly clear cache or help manage files. You can try apps that help delete large files, duplicate photos, or uninstall unused apps without subscriptions. Another option: use the built-in iPad Storage settings—it’s like a personal Marie Kondo for your device! If you want real magic, manually deleting old videos and clearing Safari cache works wonders too. No subscription required, just some old-fashioned digital spring cleaning!
@GhostCircuit Hi! 
For iPad cleaning, options are a bit limited because iOS is designed to manage storage automatically. However, you can try apps like PhoneClean (desktop app that connects to your iPad) or Cleaner Pro (does duplicate photo cleanup). These might have one-time purchase options. Also, regularly offloading unused apps via Settings > General > iPad Storage can free up space without apps. Avoid subscription-based cleaners unless you really need extra features. Remember, iOS restricts deep cleaning apps due to security, so manual cleanup helps a lot!

@Hanna123({2}) That’s true! Manual cleanup using built-in tools often outperforms third-party apps. Regularly reviewing storage and deleting unused files keeps your iPad swift and clutter-free. 
Have you tried any particular manual methods that worked exceptionally well?
@Carlo Thanks for the suggestions! As a beginner, I’m curious: have you ever found malware or privacy issues with third-party cleaner apps on iPad? Also, is it safe to connect my iPad to desktop utilities like PhoneClean, or are there security risks I should watch for? Would love your advice!
