This app looks good (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/remo-duplicate-photos-remover/id1066797785)- I have not tested it on my iPhone however, because I prefer to do all organising on my Mac and sync the changes with iCloud Photos to my iPhone.
Remo is free, and can either find exact duplicates or groups of similar looking photos.
Before trying the app, make a full backup of your iPhone, so you can revert to the current state, if something goes wrong. Some duplicate cleaners offered for Macs are not safe to use and can damage the Photos Library beyond repair and cause a loss of photos (Using third-party apps to remove duplicate photos might damage your Photos for macOS library - Apple Support). I have not seen similar reports for Photos iOS and duplicate cleaners on an iPhone, but it will be much safer to have a full backup before trying such apps, particularly the free ones.
What do you want to do? What do you mean by "clean up"? Do you want to delete duplicates? Or do you want to move photos to albums?
The camera roll (or All Photos) in Photos on an iPhone is meant to be the basic storage of all saved photos or photos taken on your iPhone. You cannot remove photos from the predefined albums created by Photos for you and save them in other albums. This is the way how Photos is working:
I don't know an app that will allow you to organise your photos this way - you would need an app that is keeping the photos stored separately in its own management system.
Thanks - that clarifies something for me (how it works and no duplicates in albums) but yes, my question was about cleaning up the duplicates on camera roll/library, not in the separate albums.... thanks for your help.... there are quite a few apps in app store so just wanted to know which best suite iphone11
thanks so much for your advice - will defo do the back up....much appreciated
My pleasure!
