Sign in to Open the Photos.app there and use the Moments view. This can import additional copies at a lower Pixel size.Īre the photos really duplicated in iCloud Photo Library? You can check this at by looking at the Photos.app there. You can create duplicates by mixing different ways of import, for example iCloud Photo Library, My Photo Stream, and Airdrop, Mail. It would help to know what the "Somehow" means. If the duplicates are showing the same photo, but the original image files are slightly different (edited versions, or of a smaller pixel size), then they will not be recognized as duplicates. This applies only to exact duplicates - if you import exactly identical files multiple times. You will see the duplicate versions in Photos, but they will be linked to only one copy of the original image file in iCloud. When you import duplicates to Photos, iCloud Photo Library will check for duplicates and keep only one of the files in iCloud. That cannot explain, why your iCloud storage is full. Somehow I have managed to upload photos more than once and now I have 27,000 photos on my phone.
