Duplicate detection is a new feature in Photos 8 on macOS 13 ventura.


Do you have macOS 13 installed on your Mac or can it be upgraded to macOS 13?


MacOS 13 (and iOS 16 on an iPhone or iPadOS 16 on an iPad will show a special album "Duplicates" where groups of similar or duplicate photos are shown, and we can merge them to keep the best version.

It will take a long time until Photos has scanned your Photos Library for duplicates. Be prepared to wait a few days after the upgrade. for very large libraries it may take even weeks, until the first duplicates will be shown.
