FAQs about MediaRescue
Browse the most frequently asked questions that you may interested in.
What is MediaRescue?
MediaRescue is an offline-first Android media and storage discovery app designed to help you find, search, browse, preview, and manage files that might be difficult to locate with a regular gallery or file manager.
What types of files can MediaRescue find and organize?
It can scan accessible device storage and help you find images, videos, audio files, PDF documents, and other accessible files. It also provides a clean gallery view and lets you browse by type and folder.
Does MediaRescue upload my files to the cloud or require an account?
No. MediaRescue is privacy-focused: no account is required, there is no cloud upload of your personal files, and file processing is done locally on your device.
Can I use MediaRescue without an internet connection?
Yes. MediaRescue is offline-first, and its core features—scan, search, browse, and preview—work without requiring an internet connection.
How does MediaRescue help when Android makes some storage locations harder to access?
Modern Android versions can restrict access to certain storage areas. MediaRescue provides a focused way to scan and explore the storage locations that are accessible under Android’s permission system, helping you locate files that might be hidden from your regular gallery or difficult to find manually.
Does MediaRescue include search and previews?
Yes. You can search scanned files by name, and MediaRescue includes built-in previews to view images, play videos and audio, and open supported documents directly in the app.
Can MediaRescue help free up storage space?
Yes. It can identify large files so you can quickly see which items are consuming significant storage space.
How do updates work if I install MediaRescue from Google Play?
MediaRescue uses Google Play’s official Flexible Update flow: you can keep using the app while an update downloads, then choose “Restart to install.” Google Play performs the installation (there is no custom in-app APK updater).
Can MediaRescue scan Android/data and Android/obb?
Yes, through the optional Shizuku-based Advanced Scanning feature. This provides deeper access to supported Android storage locations without requiring root access.
If I install MediaRescue via APK, how can I verify it’s authentic?
Verify the APK checksum listed in the release notes to confirm authenticity before installing.
