duplicates appearing in iCloud Photos

I am using iCloud for Photos on my iPhone 6s. For several months I have noticed that each time I take a photo with my iPhone, it gets duplicated in iCloud Photos. I can see these duplicates both from my Macbook Pro and from my iPhone. How can I stop this from happening and is there an easy way to eliminate the dups?


Thanks

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

Yes - I'm well aware that I can manually delete these duplicates but there are way too many. I still need to know why they're happening in the first place - this is a relatively new problem for me - perhaps a flaw in a recent software update on Photos or iPhone or ?


Also, I do have Gemini for dealing with duplicate files in general but it has some issues with Photos duplicates that make it not an ideal approach.


Thanks for your response but it's not solving my problem or answering my questions.
