Storage full again? A lot of that space is the same photo, saved a few times over. Dupless finds the duplicates, near-identical shots and burst sequences piling up in your library. Nothing gets deleted without your say-so. And no photo ever leaves your device. YOU MAKE THE CALL Compare photos side by side and swipe to decide. Nothing is picked for you — you choose which shot to keep, and Dupless marks your pick so you don't lose track. Deletions go through the standard iOS confirmation and land in the Photos app's Recently Deleted, recoverable for 30 days. WHAT IT FINDS - Exact duplicates - Similar shots from the same moment - Burst sequences - Screenshots - Videos Scanning keeps running while the app is in the background. STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE All scanning and comparison happens on your device. No photo, and nothing derived from one, is ever sent anywhere. No account, no sign-in. The free version is ad-supported. Cleaning up burst sequences, screenshots and videos is always free — there's no limit. In duplicate and similar-photo groups the free version includes a limited number of deletes; the optional Pro subscription (monthly or yearly) removes all ads and lifts that limit. iPhone and iPad.
