What does Avast Cleanup & Boost Pro do?

Avast Cleanup & Boost Pro is the paid Android edition of Avast Cleanup, built to free storage space and speed up phones and tablets. Its Deep Clean reaches hidden cache files that the free app leaves behind, while Sleep Mode force-stops idle background apps that drain memory and battery. Automatic Cleaning then schedules those maintenance runs so they repeat on their own without manual taps. It is the right fit when a device is near-full or lagging after months of installed apps and accumulated cache.

Does Avast Cleanup & Boost Pro include antivirus protection?

No. Avast Cleanup & Boost Pro is a performance and storage tool only and does not scan for or remove malware. Avast's mobile malware protection is a separate product, Avast Mobile Security, so anyone who wants both has to install two apps. This is worth knowing because the Avast brand is widely associated with antivirus, yet the cleanup license alone provides no virus, phishing, or app-permission protection.

What is the difference between the free Avast Cleanup app and the Pro version?

Both versions clean junk and free RAM, but the free app shows third-party ads and stops short of the deeper tools. The Pro upgrade removes ads and unlocks Deep Clean for hidden cache, Automatic Cleaning, Browser Cleaner, Sleep Mode, the Advanced Photo Optimizer, and Pro Battery Life. The table below shows exactly which features sit behind the upgrade.

Will Avast Cleanup & Boost Pro run on an iPhone or a Windows PC?

No. This license is Android-only and will not activate on an iPhone or iPad, and retail listings carry an explicit Android-only restriction. For Windows and Mac, Avast sells a separate desktop product called Avast Cleanup Premium, which this key does not cover. The official requirement for the mobile app is Android 9.0 (Pie) or later, so confirm your device version before buying.

Does cleaning with Avast Cleanup delete my personal photos or files?

No. The cleaner targets app cache, temporary data, residual files, and leftover APKs rather than your documents or saved media. When it analyses your gallery it flags only duplicate, similar, old, or low-quality photos, and it asks you to review anything it is unsure about before anything is removed. The Advanced Photo Optimizer can also shrink image size or move originals to cloud storage, so you keep the picture while reclaiming space.

Frequently asked questions about Avast Cleanup & Boost Pro

What is Sleep Mode in Avast Cleanup & Boost Pro?

Sleep Mode is a premium feature that force-stops apps you rarely use so they stop consuming memory, battery, and mobile data in the background. You choose which apps to put to sleep, and they wake and run normally the next time you open them.

Will the Advanced Photo Optimizer lower my photo quality?

The Advanced Photo Optimizer reduces a photo's pixel size to save storage, and you control the trade-off: low compression keeps better quality for printing, while high compression saves the most space. You can move originals to the cloud first, so the full-resolution version is preserved rather than lost.
