How to Find Duplicate Photos on iPhone
Are you someone who takes a lot of selfies and selects the best one from them? Then, definitely, your iPhone will be flooded with too many duplicate photos. None of us like to keep duplicate files in their places as we lose storage space for nothing. If you are using iOS 16, you can find them on your iPhone Photos app itself. On your device, launch the Photos app from the App Library or your Home Screen. Next, tap Albums on the bottom of the screen and scroll to the Utilities section. Here, you will see a folder titled Duplicates that contains all the duplicate images stored on your iPhone. The folder also shows you the number of duplicate photos found. Opening it can show you the quick actions to merge and remove duplicate photos.
How to Delete Duplicate Photos on iPhone
Now, it’s time to remove the duplicate photos from your iPhone to free up some storage. Either you can delete all the duplicate photos at once or you can spend some time and delete the ones which are not required. Let’s see how to do that. In the Photos app, tap the Duplicates folder under the Utilities section. Here, you will see the list of all duplicated photos. To remove a duplicate photo, you can tap the Merge button shown on the right of every pair of duplicate pictures. Next, you will see a confirmation pop-up at the bottom. Go ahead and tap Merge Duplicates. Once you provide the confirmation, the duplicate photos will be deleted and moved to the Recently Deleted folder. Instead of deleting photos one by one, you can delete all the duplicate photos at once. To do that, tap the Select button located on the top right of the screen and then tap the Select All button displayed on the top left. Then, tap Merge Duplicates shown at the bottom. Once you provide the confirmation, the duplicate photos will be deleted and moved to the Recently Deleted folder. Besides the above two methods, you can also add a bunch of photos by tapping Select on the top and then tapping only on the photos that need to be deleted. It will be easy to save storage space by eliminating duplicate photos from your iPhone. Apart from these, you can also find and remove sensitive pictures from your kid’s iPhone.
