Apple's iOS 16 features preview already detailed the new offers for the Photos app for the public, but for those who do not have time to nitpick or browse through the long page, here is the answer to you.

The Cupertino giant featured a new helpful way to free up storage and detect multiple photo duplicates that one took on their smartphone, and it aims to help users identify them in a single album for faster access.

It is helpful in a way where users no longer need to browse their gallery to identify which photos have duplicates or are identical. Instead of manually looking for photos to delete and remove to have more storage, this feature sums it up for the users.

How to Delete or Merge in Photos App

According to CNET, it presents a helpful feature where it displays the file size underneath so you may know which to delete or keep for one's storage needs.

Users only need to go to the Photos app, head to Albums, and swipe down to Utilities. After doing so, the Duplicates album would appear and be available for user access.

Here, they may choose to delete or merge photos, depending on their preference.

iOS 16 and its Many Features for All

The world was quick to judge the iPhone 14 for not having many differences from the previous iPhone 13 apart from its Dynamic Island, the highlight for all Pro devices. However, while the phone did not change much for its current release, the operating system is a gem for all users and it is not just for its new lock screen feature available for all.

What is good about the iOS 16 is the many offers available for users eligible to upgrade to the latest version (sorry iPhone 7 users and earlier), including features like PassKeys for automatic verification, an Upgraded Visual Lookup, and other new features for the smartphone.

Users only need to download the OS and upgrade from their iOS 15 to the latest software available for their devices, and all its offers and functions are accessible based on their liking.

The good thing about Apple's new iOS 16 is it gives people better accessibility to their Photos app, particularly with the latest Visual Lookup and Duplicate Photos which they may delete or merge. It is a way to automatically gather the images with almost the same elements or content and free up the storage it takes on the device.
