If single photos average one megabyte at least, with videos easily 20 megabytes or more, you can see how these excess files could add up to gigabytes of space.
This equates to money for you (if you pay extra cash to store them somewhere), less space on your device, and less damage to the environment from all the energy needed to store the data we don’t digitally declutter.
To remove the duplicates, you can press ‘merge’ so that you only store one of each file –which is probably enough, no?.
Open up the Photos app, then scroll down almost to the bottom, where you will see a collection of folders called ‘Utilities’.
It’s easy to end up with duplicate files, especially if you get sent files from friends who might have the same images.
