These guys initiated the launch of this very smart Android App which is very helpful in disposing all these aforementioned junk photos from your WhatsApp with no stress at all.

No fantasies here, it is all deep reality. This app, Magic Cleaner, executes the scan of the media folder of your WhatsApp app, and at once would fish out all these discomfiting basket of images which span across memes, screenshots, video screen grabs,as well several other pictures which carry overlay text.

Just in resemblance with Cloud Vision, Google’s image recognition API, Siftr has gone about bringing out their indigenous image recognition engine which analyses the vitality of the content of an image to tell if it is not junk or if it is. It makes use of the services of an active Internet connection. The reason been that the image analysis is carried out on Siftr servers which is quite different from when such analysis was carried out locally on the mobile phone. Fear not for your data plan, this app would upload only a small hash of the image and then tries to compare it against their very images in their database.

So when you run the photo cleaner app against a WhatsApp account even with such heavy capacity of images running into say 3000 images, you could be shocked at how impressively the app would clean your account up in 10 minutes and very successfully. I must admit this is pretty smooth. You don’t have to pay for the app, just that in single run you will only be able to delete quite a restricted number of images. Should you want to carry deleting more images, all you need do is invite a friend to use the app or possibly wait the span of a day.

One thing I should add here is that despite the fact that the WhatsApps images are deleted from the memory card, you still have blurred thumbnail existing inside your WhatsApp message logs,so the little job for you is erasing them manually.

With this, I am sure you are going to sip your relief from all these junk messages which greedily drink the fun out of WhatsApp.
