iOS 16 Missing Duplicate Photos Folder

Hi Sweet Steffanie J,

The ‘Duplicates’ album in Photos appears under “Utilities” when Photos detects duplicates in the library. The detection process requires the device to be locked and connected to power, and depending on the size of the library and other background tasks going on, could happen quickly or take up to a few days to fully process.

Take care!

What to do if your Duplicate Photos folder is missing on your iPhone

According to Apple Supports article on the missing duplicate photos folder.

"The detection process requires iPhone to be locked and connected to power. Depending on what tasks are running in the background and the size of your photo library, the process could happen quickly or take up to a few days to complete. "

The folder is not there, at all, under utilities under albums. I am connected to power and my phone is updated .
