Technically speaking, this does remove all but one of the duplicates, but it does so intelligently. Instead of prompting you to delete duplicate photos, Apple offers a “Merge” button beside each group. Further, Apple’s method for handling duplicates appears to be much safer and more user-friendly than many third-party apps I’ve worked with over the years. While several third-party developers have offered Mac apps to clean up duplicates for years, there have never been any that we trusted to handle this on the iPhone or iPad. You can tap on any photo to open it up for a more detailed look and swipe between others in the same duplicate group to compare.
