Does your iPhone have a lot of duplicate photos and videos taking up storage space? Finding and deleting them one by one can be a daunting task, especially if you have thousands of photos on your iPhone.
Thankfully, the Photos app makes it super easy to delete duplicate photos from your device. The app lets you merge duplicate photos and delete the extra copies from your device, saving both storage space and time.
In this guide, we have shared easy instructions on how you can merge and remove duplicate photos and videos on your iPhone that is running iOS 26 or later.
Merge and remove duplicate photos
- Open the Photos app and tap on the Collections button at the bottom.
- Here, scroll down to a section called Utilities. Here, tap on the Duplicates option.
- Inside the Duplicates album, you will find all the photos that have duplicates. You can tap on the Merge button at the top of the photos to merge them quickly.
- You can also select multiple photos or select all photos at once and merge them easily using the buttons at the top of the screen.
- When you are merging all photos, iOS will show you how many photos are being merged, and even let you choose if you want to merge all items or merge exact copies only.
That’s it, this is how you can merge all photos on your iPhone. This will help you free up storage on your iPhone and make your photo library clutter-free.
