Previously, the best solution was reverting a photo to the unedited version before starting over.We all know duplicate photos are almost useless, but we create them right on our handy iPhones - almost daily!ĭisagree? Take out your iPhone and tap the “Photos” app, browse those collections and moments, and scroll up and down a bit. 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. Want to apply the same edit to a bunch of photos? iOS 16 can do that. 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. 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.

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.
