Delete duplicate photos and videos

Open the Photo app and tap Albums at the bottom of the menu. Scroll down to the Utilities area, you should be able to find Duplicates. This is an iOS 16 feature, so make sure you are fully updated. The latest version right now is iOS 16.4.1. You must have an iPhone 8 or newer to update.

It should appear. You are welcome, good luck.

Okay, first try restarting your iPhone and see if the button appears. If not, it could be because you have a lot of photos to scan. Connect your iPhone to a charger, connect to Wi-Fi - turn off Low Power Mode if you have it enabled. Open your Photos app and go to the Library tab at the bottom and lock your iPhone without leaving the Photos app and wait.

Leave the phone lying down, with the charger connected and the photo app open for as long as possible, and check if the Duplicate button has appeared.

I am up to date but all I have on the bottom is import, hidden, delete

I will try that thank you

It did not work. I’m thinking I have too many photos and videos and it’s just taking so long I was told that could be the problem

Patience. The more Photos you have, the longer it takes. The button will appear at some point, and as long as your photos are not scanned, the duplicates cannot be found either.
