A step-by-step guide to removing duplicate images on your iPhone

by

You are likely to have hundreds of images stored on your iPhone if you’re an avid iPhone user. It’s easy to snap pictures and save them to your iPhone, so it’s not surprising that duplicate images quickly accumulate and take up valuable storage space. Duplicate images not only eat up space but also make it hard to find the photos you want. This step-by-step guide will help you quickly and efficiently delete duplicate images from your iPhone.

This guide will show you how to remove duplicate images from your iPhone.

Step 1: Use the Built in Photos App

The built-in Photos app is the first step to remove duplicate images. The hidden feature in this app allows you to delete duplicate images and identify them. These are the steps to follow:

  • Open the Photos app for your iPhone.
  • Click the tab “Albums” at the bottom of your screen.
  • Scroll down to select “Recently Deleted.”
  • This page will list all images that you have deleted recently. You can also see duplicate images.
  • Tap on the “Delete” button to the bottom of your screen and select the images that you wish to delete.

Step 2: Install a Third-Party app

If your iPhone’s built-in Photos app fails to identify duplicate images, you can install a third-party app such as Remo Duplicate Photos Remover and Cisdem Duplicate Locator. These apps are specifically designed to remove duplicate images. These steps will help you:

  • Install a third-party duplicator app from the App store.
  • Open the app, and click the “Scan” button.
  • The app scans your iPhone for duplicate images, and displays them in a list.
  • Click on the “Delete” button to select the duplicate images that you wish to delete.

Step 3: Use your Computer

  • Use a USB cable to connect your iPhone with your computer.
  • Open iTunes, and choose your iPhone from the list.
  • Click on “Photos” and choose “Sync Photos.”
  • Select the “Selected Albums” option to uncheck all albums other than “Recently deleted.”
  • To sync your iPhone to your computer, click on the “Apply” button.
  • After the sync is completed, open the folder “Recently deleted” and delete duplicate images.

Conclusion:

It is not difficult to remove duplicate images from an iPhone. These step-by-step instructions can be used with the built-in Photos app or a third-party app. They will also make it easy to locate the photos you love. You can ensure your iPhone runs smoothly and efficiently by regularly removing duplicate photos.
