BucketsDuplicate photos and videos
Find photos and videos saved more than once and send the copies you check to the gallery Trash.
Menu ☰ → Utilities → Duplicate photos and videos reads the whole gallery and lists each photo or video that is 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.
“Move to Trash” sends the checked copies to the gallery Trash on Android 11 and newer, or to Recently Deleted on iPhone, where your phone can restore them for about thirty days. Nothing is added to a bucket, and nothing is deleted permanently.
Duplicates are identified by filename, moment taken and dimensions, and a video by its length as well. A copy saved under a name of its own is not identified as a duplicate.
On a phone with no recoverable Trash, deletion is unavailable: the screen says so and nothing is removed.
