Everyone can take great photos with the iPhone’s advanced camera. We usually don’t just take one shot to get the best one of the moment, but try several times to get the perfect composition or the right light. However, you will discover that photos consume your space over time, and those duplicate photos should be condemned. To free up space on your iPhone, delete duplicate photos. Is there an easy way to find duplicate photos from a large number of photos on an iPhone? Normally, you can use the Photos app to find duplicate photos on your own. If you have a large photo library, deduplication tools can help you find all duplicate photos at once.
Manually Locate Duplicate Photos on iPhone
If you do not want third-party apps to have access to your photos, you can manually search for duplicates. Because you have to find the photos yourself, this process can take some time, depending on how many you have stored on your iPhone.
- Search by Category
Duplicate images and photos are typically taken at the same time or in the same location. To find duplicate photos, sort your photos by date or location.
View by date: Open Photos app > Tap Library > Tap Days.
View by location: Go to Photos app > Tap Albums > Choose Places.
- Search by Keywords
Go to Photos app > Tap Search > Tap the search bar and enter one keyword to search for specific people, places, etc.
