Previously, the best solution was reverting a photo to the unedited version before starting over. Regret an edit you made several steps ago? Photos in iOS 16 can also undo and redo edits for more than one step. The Photos app now lets you copy edits made to one photo and paste them onto another photo or a selection of photos. However, you should delete duplicate photos manually to get the most control over your storage space. Want to apply the same edit to a bunch of photos? iOS 16 can do that. Exact duplicates should be deleted automatically by Google, and third-party software can find any nearly identical photos. Before now, separate utility apps were required to seek out duplicate photos and videos. You can merge select sets of duplicates or select all to merge all detected duplicates.Īpple says that merging maintains information like favorites, keywords, and captions, and the highest quality image or video is kept. If the number of duplicate photos is not too much, you can try to delete these duplicates manually. Each set of duplicates (or triplicates) is listed with an option to merge the photos or videos into a single item. In my case, there are 17 photos and 6 videos.

This feature is useful for both cleaning up your library and managing your library storage size. Starting with iOS 16, the built-in Photos app can now detect duplicate photos and videos in your photo library. While the star of the keynote was iCloud Shared Photo Library, Photos has also learned how to detect duplicates in your library, new ways to edit, and more. Apple’s Photos app is gaining a lot of useful features in iOS 16.
