About this app

iShredder™ – secure data eraser & file shredder for Android
Protect your privacy before you sell, trade in, repair, recycle or hand over your phone. iShredder securely erases photos, files, folders and empty space so deleted data becomes extremely difficult to recover — even with recovery apps or forensic tools. Use certified wipe methods, erasure reports and business-ready workflows for secure device handover.

WHY DELETE ISN’T ENOUGH
On Android, tapping “delete” often removes only file references. The underlying data blocks may remain on storage and can sometimes be found later. Even a basic factory reset may leave traces of old content behind. iShredder overwrites empty space and selected storage areas multiple times, helping reduce residual data rather than simply hiding it.

MILITARY-GRADE, CERTIFIED ERASURE
iShredder supports trusted erase methods such as DoD 5220.22-M, NIST SP 800-88, BSI TL-03423 and other internationally recognized standards. These methods overwrite data with carefully defined patterns, making recovery extremely difficult.

The Android app has been independently audited and awarded DEKRA MASA L1 security certification, aligned with OWASP MASVS Level 1. iShredder has also received the Fortress Cybersecurity Award 2025, recognizing strong erasure technology and app security.

WHAT YOU CAN WIPE
• Photos, videos and personal media
• Documents, downloads and folders
• App traces, hidden caches, logs and temporary files
Empty space in internal storage and supported SD cards
• Work data on BYOD and shared devices before handover

2. Choose the erase method that fits your security needs.

FOR BUSINESS, IT & PRIVACY WORKFLOWS
iShredder supports secure disposal, device handover, onboarding/offboarding and internal privacy policies. Reports and certified methods make repeatable wipe processes easier to document.

PRIVACY & SECURITY BY DESIGN

Note: Feature availability can vary by device, Android version and iShredder edition.

Take control of your privacy and make sure “deleted” really means deleted — with iShredder for Android.

Seems to work OK sometimes. However. when doing some wipes it will get stuck at say 2% for a minute, then jump to 100% for that pass. Makes me wonder if it did it's job. Using it to clear an old phone prior to disposal, so will be testing for photo recovery shortly after to see if it really works for not and will report back. Update : app fails to delete all photos. about 7 were recoverable, despite being only stored in the normal album and nowhere else.

Great app. I have the Military Edition which works efficiently. But at times it reverts back to the Free edition. I have to replace my account and password to gain the Military Edition. Still a good shredder.

I have bought the lifetime upgrade to the highest level, I don't remember if it is military or professional. regardless, it will randomly tell me that I need to pay to upgrade. I would uninstall the app, and reinstall it, and it would have everything unlocked the way it is supposed to since I paid. however, it always immediately has a 1.1 MB update available, and if I do it, it deregisters the app. after uninstalling and reinstalling 10+ times, I realize if I Skip updating it, it will work
