My iPhone 7 Plus keeps duplicating videos on its own.

My iPhone 7 Plus has been duplicating a screen record video over 200 times. I have to delete over 100 videos a day of duplicates. I’ve even erased the original and cleared my recently deleted but to no avail. It’s a bother to delete the videos over and over again. I am Running iOS 11.3.1.

I took a Screen Recording of an Instagram chat and the video started duplicating. I tried Force Close all Apps and Restart my iPhone but it didn’t work. So I deleted Instagram and the problem got fixed. I downloaded Instagram again and nothing happened. Maybe this helps you.

Hey there, Sladex133,

Thanks for stopping by the Apple Support Communities! From your post, I understand that you have a video in Photos on your iPhone 7 Plus that, no matter how many times you delete it, it comes back. Not only that, it also duplicates itself quite a bit. I'd be happy to help!

First, force close the Photos app: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support , then restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support .

If the issue continues after that, back up your iPhone: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support , then use the steps under the "Put your device in recovery mode and set it up again" section of If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support to reinstall the iOS software.

Have a great day!
