Recently, I’ve found that my phone is filled with duplicate photos and it’s taking up too much storage. Does anyone know of a good app that can help me find and remove these duplicates easily? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Oh, totally know what you’re dealing with. Phones are absolute magnets for duplicate pics. You can try ‘Gemini Photos,’ it’s pretty intuitive and just goes through your whole gallery, pointing out similar or exact duplicates. Then you swipe to get rid of the junk. Never knew I had that many pics of coffee cups until I ran it.
There’s also ‘Remo Duplicate Photos Remover.’ This one is pretty straightforward and has a clean interface. You just launch it, scan, and it shows all duplicates with a preview before deleting.
If you’re on Android, give ‘Duplicate Photos Fixer’ a shot. It’s fast and efficient, and you can customize the scan settings if you have specific folders you don’t want it to touch.
For iOS users, ‘Cleaner – Clean Duplicate Item’ is pretty solid. It’s a comprehensive utility app that scans not just for photos but also for duplicate contacts and calendar events.
One word of caution though: double-check before deleting anything. Some apps might flag very similar but not identical photos, like burst shots or edited versions, as duplicates. You don’t wanna lose a pic just because you were in a hurry.
Hope this helps!
I can’t believe how many apps do the same thing but nobody notices! So, while @waldgeist has a solid list, lemme come at this from another angle.
Have you thought about Google Photos? It’s kinda a sneaky champ at reducing clutter and duplicates—plus, it’s cloud-based. You can let it backup your entire gallery, and it’ll often suggest you delete local copies after the upload. It’s not specifically a duplicate remover but it’s like killing two birds with one stone.
Another approach could be using ‘Duplicate Cleaner’ on desktop if you’re okay with transferring photos to your computer temporarily. It’s a comprehensive tool and might give you more control over what you delete compared to doing it straight on the phone.
Just a little hack: if you’re using Apple products, try toggling on iCloud Photos. It’s smart enough to manage duplicates as well and keeps everything streamlined across devices. Though, it can be a bit of a money grab with storage plans.
Remember, these apps make educated guesses and sometimes they miss. Just do a quick glance before confirming deletions. And hey, maybe don’t delete that picture of your coffee cup, it might be artsy someday. Or not.
Anyway, hope at least one of these gives you the clarity you need!
