Find and Delete Similar Photos on iPhone

Burst shots, retakes and near-identical pictures quietly eat up your storage. ByePhotos groups them together, suggests which ones you don't need, and lets you clear them in one tap — entirely on your device.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Scan your library

    ByePhotos analyzes your photos on-device and groups the ones that look alike. New photos are picked up automatically.

  2. 2

    Review each group

    Compare similar shots, zoom in on the details, and choose the ones worth keeping.

  3. 3

    Delete the rest

    Remove the selected photos in one tap. They go to Recently Deleted in the Photos app, so nothing is lost by accident.

Built for Fast, Careful Cleanup

AI-suggested deletions

On iOS 18 or later, ByePhotos scores the photos in each group and automatically selects the ones you likely don't need.

Side-by-side comparison

Use Side-by-Side Mode to compare similar shots and spot the best one.

Keep what matters

Mark photos as Kept and they won't show up for cleanup again. You can review your kept photos at any time.

Private by design

Photo analysis runs entirely on your device. Your photos are never uploaded.

Similar Photos FAQ

It uses Apple's on-device Vision framework to compare what your photos look like, then groups the ones that are close to each other. No photo leaves your device.

No. ByePhotos only makes suggestions. You choose what to delete, and iOS asks you to confirm before anything is removed.

Yes. Deleted photos are moved to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app, where they stay for 30 days before being permanently erased.

Not at the moment. Similar detection covers photos, including Live Photos. For videos, use Video Compression to shrink large files.
