Shared album photos

My granddaughter shared an album with me on my iphone but there are many duplicates. How can I delete the duplicates from my iphone 11? Also, when I try to transfer the photos to my computer they do not show up. Any help would be appreciated.

You can only remove photos from a shared album, that have been shared by yourself. To remove photos not sharedby you, unsubscribe from the shared album, but then you will lose all photos.

If you want to remove selected photos from a shared album, you should save the photos you want to keep to your Photos Library, and only then unsubscribe from the shared album.


The duplicate detection in Photos does not check photos in shared albums are only shown in Photos, but are not a part of your Photos Library.
