Are Duplicate Photos Draining My Battery and Storage?

Hey everyone,

Lately, I’ve noticed my phone (Android) has been heating up a lot and the battery drains super fast — even when I’m not doing much. I checked my storage and realized I have thousands of photos, and I’m pretty sure many of them are duplicates or near-identical shots.

Could these duplicates be the reason for my battery drain and performance lag? My gallery app also takes forever to open and scroll through. Is there any reliable app or any kind of solution that can help me find and delete these duplicate photos without messing up my original files?

Would love to hear if anyone else has faced this and how you fixed it. 🙏
