Duplicate photos
Find copies and move them to the Trash.
Remove duplicate photos and videos
Menu ☰ → Utilities → Duplicate photos and videos
- The screen reads your whole gallery and lists every photo or video saved more than once, as a set of its copies.
- The screen opens on the albums that hold duplicates, each with how many duplicates are in it. Tap an album to see its copies as photos, each labelled with where its other copy is.
- Check the copies to delete, or tap “All of them” to check every copy but one of each photo or video. Nothing is checked for you, and the last copy cannot be checked, so one copy always stays.
- Tap “Move to Trash”. The checked copies go to the phone’s Trash on Android 11 and newer, or to Recently Deleted on iPhone, where they can be restored for about thirty days.
- Your phone asks for confirmation as well, and only the copies it confirms are removed. Nothing is added to a bucket and nothing is deleted permanently.
- On a phone with no recoverable Trash, the screen says deletion is unavailable and removes nothing.
