How to Find and Delete Duplicate Photos in Google Photos

Finding Duplicate Photos in Google Photos

• 💡 The Google Photos app does not automatically detect or remove duplicate images.
• 📌 You can manually find duplicates by opening the app and looking for similar photos, though resizing or cropping may cause the app to see them as new files.
• 🔍 Use the 'modes' option (accessed via three dots) and scroll down to manually identify and delete duplicate or similar-looking photos.

Utilizing Sorting and Search Features

• 🗂️ Navigate to 'collections' and sort by presets like 'screenshots' or 'recently added' to help group similar images.
• ⌨️ The 'search' function can be used by typing keywords (e.g., 'screen') to find related photos, which may include duplicates.

Checking Account Storage and Third-Party Tools

• 📊 Access 'account storage' by tapping your profile picture to review 'large photos and videos,' where duplicates might be found.
• 🛠️ Consider using third-party apps for duplicate removal, but ensure you find a trusted application before proceeding.

Summary and Additional Tips

• ✅ Manually deleting duplicates is the primary method within the Google Photos app itself.
• 📈 Freeing up space and organizing your photo collection is the main benefit of removing duplicates.
