Managing your iPhone storage can be a daunting task, especially when duplicate photos start piling up in your Photos library. These redundant images not only consume valuable storage space but also clutter your gallery. So, to free up space on your iPhone and maintain a neat, organized and efficient photo gallery, deleting those duplicate photos is a must. Read on to learn how to delete duplicate photos on iPhone.
While there are many third-party apps to do the job for you, removing duplicate photos on iPhone manually gives you precise control over the selection process. This allows you to personally review each duplicate photo to ensure that important images are not accidentally deleted.
That being said, here’s how you delete duplicate photos on your iPhone:
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone and tap the Albums button in the bottom menu bar.
- Here, scroll to the end and tap Duplicates.
- Now, select duplicate photos you want to remove from your iPhone.
- Once the selection process has been completed, tap the Merge button at the bottom center and then confirm the action in the pop-up window.
Now, your iPhone will merge all the selected duplicate photos and the duplicate copy will be moved to the recently deleted album.
