Duplicate photos on Macbook, iPhone and iCloud OK< this is driving me insane. I manually deleted all the duplicate photos on my iPhone, only to discover that they were repopulated either from iCloud or Photos on my Mac. I watched this, aghast after hours of carefully selecting and deleting the duplicates, there they were busily being repopulated on my iPhone. Can anyone explain how this works. If I delete from either Photos on Mac, or from iPhone or from iCloud - all have the same photos and the same duplicates. Which one is the Master one so if I delete duplicates from that particular one, it wont repopulate the others again. Sometimes Apple you seem to forget we arent all tech wizards. Can someone please explain how I can delete all (the same) duplicates from iMac, iPhone and iCloud

If you turn on iCloud Photos on a device, all photos in the Photos app are synced with iCloud. There is no option to select only some Photos. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

After the photos are synced, see the following for information on duplicates: Remove duplicate photos in Photos on Mac - Apple Support

Find and delete duplicate photos and videos on iPhone - Apple Support
