How to Find and Remove Duplicate Photos on iPhone Easily
1 min read
Summary
This article provides several methods for finding and removing duplicate photos from an iPhone to help declutter photo storage and organisation.
The first method is to use the built-in Photos app, which has a ‘Duplicates’ feature that automatically detects and suggests merging duplicates, whilst also allowing manual selection of images to keep or delete.
The second method is to manually search through photos, looking out for and selecting duplicates to delete.
Third-party apps such as Gemini Photos, Remo Duplicate Photos Remover, and Cleaner for iPhone offer more advanced duplicate recognition algorithms and one-tap clean-up.
Using iCloud to store photos means they can be viewed and sorted more easily on a computer, where it is easier to spot and delete duplicates.
To prevent further duplicate accumulation, the tips suggested include regular photo organisation, minimising usage of burst mode, tracking downloads to avoid multiple saves of the same photo, and careful syncing of cloud storage between devices.
The article urges that taking time to regularly clean up duplicate photos will help keep photos organised and storage optimised.
