Description
iShredder™ – secure data eraser & file shredder for Android Protect your personal and work data before you sell, trade in, repair, recycle or hand over your phone. iShredder securely overwrites photos, files, folders and empty space, making later recovery extremely difficult even with recovery apps or forensic tools.
WHY NORMAL DELETE ISN’T ENOUGH Deleting a file on Android often removes its reference without immediately overwriting the storage area it occupied. Depending on the device, Android version and storage technology, residual data may remain. iShredder targets selected content and empty space for secure overwriting instead of merely removing files from view.
CERTIFIED, MILITARY-GRADE ERASURE iShredder supports recognized methods such as DoD 5220.22-M, NIST SP 800-88, BSI TL-03423 and other international standards. Choose a quick one-pass wipe for routine tasks or a stricter multi-pass process for particularly sensitive information.
The Android app has been independently assessed and awarded DEKRA MASA L1 security certification under OWASP MASVS Level 1 requirements. iShredder also received the Fortress Cybersecurity Award 2025 for its data-erasure technology and app security.
WHAT YOU CAN WIPE • Photos, videos and personal media • Documents, downloads, files and complete folders • App traces, hidden caches, logs, temporary files and thumbnails • Empty space in internal storage and supported SD cards • Work data on corporate, BYOD and shared devices
KEY FEATURES • Selective secure erase Choose exactly which files, folders or storage areas should be overwritten.
• Multiple certified algorithms Choose the right balance of speed and protection.
• Built-in file explorer Locate private content and select it directly for secure shredding.
• Erasure reports Create a record for device handover, audits and privacy workflows. Reports depend on the edition.
• BYOD & user changes Remove work data before return, repair, reassignment, resale or employee offboarding.
COMMON USE CASES • Wipe an Android phone before sale, trade-in, buy-back or recycling • Remove private photos, documents and downloads before repair • Reduce remnants after uninstalling apps by wiping empty space • Clean corporate and BYOD devices during device or staff changes • Document repeatable disposal and handover procedures with reports
HOW THE WIPE WORKS 1. Select files, folders, app traces, empty space or a storage area. 2. Choose the erasure algorithm suited to your security needs. 3. Start the wipe — iShredder overwrites the selected areas and, where available, generates an erasure report.
FOR BUSINESS, IT & PRIVACY OPERATIONS Certified methods and reports help organizations manage device rotation, returns, reuse, onboarding/offboarding and internal security procedures. They can support documented data-disposal and GDPR-aligned privacy workflows when combined with your organization’s compliance requirements.
ADVANCED OPTIONS WHEN YOU NEED MORE Depending on the edition, iShredder provides additional deletion algorithms, extended reports and professional options for power users, businesses and public-sector teams. Use iShredder for regular privacy maintenance, shared devices and repeatable IT processes.
PRIVACY & SECURITY BY DESIGN Connections to Protectstar services use modern TLS encryption. The app avoids unnecessary data collection and, as stated in Google Play’s Data Safety section, does not share user data with third parties.
Note: Features, algorithms and reports can vary by device, Android version and iShredder edition.
With iShredder, “deleted” really means securely erased.

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

Seems to do what it is designed to do. It creates random large files until it takes up all the space on your phone, and it shreds them, multiple times. In theory, this will make your intended deleted file unrecoverable.
★★★★★Carl Bellegia· May 15, 2026
Works well as far as I can tell. Obviously have no way to verify the algorithms, but I am satisfied

Not working waste app. Free version of Dr. Fone can recover after using Shredder.

Trash app to be honest everything is paid lol to delete an apk file you have to pay a fee y'all exaggerating I mean keep up the good work but seriously I just wanted to delete an apk file that's taking a lot of space and it's stuck on the device and to just view the file through the shredder app I have to pay lol

Tested this by deleting files and photos. Made sure that all the correct permissions were given in the tick boxes pre wipe. Constantly failed to wipe any of the deleted files.

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 its 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.
