All devices are on the latest OS’s and all devices are using ICloud. As an addition my iPad shows 2304 duplicates?
iPad mini 5, iPadOS 17
The duplicate detection is running on each device locally. It does not sync between the devices. Each device is running the duplicate detection over night, when you are not using it, and when it is fully charged. Your Mac may not yet have finished the scan for duplicates. It takes a very long time, because Photos is looking for similar photos, not just exact duplicates, so it needs to compare what the photos are showing, not just the file attributes. Your Mac is showing the detected duplicates on the go, is showing the detected duplicates it has already found while it is searching for more. You may want to start removing duplicates that are already shown. Over time the Mac will show you more.
Thanks, I sort of thought that would be case. If fact I started deleting on my phone and my Mac started to catch up, they are still no not exactly the same but fairly close. 👍
It’s a shame there isn’t an option to force the duplicate analysis.
Duplicate photos on my IPhone says 2355 and on my Mac say 1164 (last week I imported a lot of photos via my Mac) but why such a difference?
