How to merge duplicate photos and videos on iPad

by Tyler Stephen

The Photos app identifies duplicate photos and videos in your photo library in Duplicates. You can merge duplicate photos and videos to save space and clean up your library, and if you don’t have any, Duplicates doesn’t appear. You can also delete or hide photos and videos on iPad.

  1. Open the Photos app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Collections.
  3. Tap Utilities and tap Duplicates.
  4. Tap Merge to combine the duplicates and then tap Merge [number] Exact Copies.

Duplicates doesn’t appear if your library doesn’t have any duplicate photos or videos.
