How to delete duplicate images on iPhone IOS 16

With iOS 16, Apple allows you to delete duplicate photos on iPhones. The feature is available in iPhone’s very own Photos app. Here’s how to use it.

Apple has introduced several new features to iPhones with the new iOS 16 update. While most features are about the UI’s design such as the new lock screen and battery percentage, there are also some other convenient features that the OS brings, which you may not notice easily until you dig deep.

One such feature that you may not know or may have only heard about, is the ability to delete duplicate photos on your iPhone. Let’s face it. Taking multiple photos from the same angle to get the best shot is what we all do, however, we often forget to delete those similar or duplicate images.

With this new feature available on iOS 16, you can easily delete or merge two or more photos into one and save a lot of space on your iPhone. Also Read – How to change font size on your iPhone?
