How to cancel Swipewipe: Photo Cleaner and get your money back
Swipewipe: Photo Cleaner is a Utilities app by MWM. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 50 of the most recent public App Store reviews, sampled September 2026.
Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select Swipewipe: Photo Cleaner → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.
Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. This is the single most common reason people keep getting charged.
Step 2 — Ask Apple for the charge back

Hey so charging me $85 immediately does not count as a “free trial” so maybe don’t advertise that.
I keep getting charged $10 a WEEK and I’ve tried to stop subscription twice. Very deceptive company.
App used to be wonderful. now they push a subscription… for an app used to clean your camera roll. if you have the free version have fun getting an ad every 5 swipes that’s unskippable and a limit of 20 random photos that you cannot use till an 8hr timer is up. just clean up your camera roll manually. app has gone severely downhill

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled Swipewipe: Photo Cleaner?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to Swipewipe: Photo Cleaner if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
