It seems that every time I connect my iPhone to my computer, I end up with 2 or 3 maybe 4 copies on my phone and this is driving me nuts. I try to delete but can't. How can I stop this?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Are you only syncing your photos to the iPhone by using a USB connection? Or do you also have other syncing methods enabled, like My Photo Stream? Duplicates are usually created by mixing two different methods of import, but also by using an automatic format conversion when downloading the photos from the iPhone to the Mac. The format conversion from HEIC to JPEG will disable the automatic duplicate detection, and My Photo STream might sync the duplicates back to your iPhone as new photos.
