How to Clean Up Similar Photos and Screenshots on iPhone

TL;DR

Beyond exact duplicates, CleanMaster finds visually similar photos and screenshots — the burst shots and stale captures that bloat your library — so you can review them in a grid and bulk-delete the ones you don't need.

Steps

In CleanMaster, run the scan and open the similar photos and screenshots groups.
Review each cluster in the swipeable grid.
Keep the best shot; select the near-identical extras.
Full-screen preview to confirm your keeper.
Delete the rest to reclaim space.

Why it works this way

Bursts and repeated shots leave you with ten near-identical frames where you wanted one — and screenshots accumulate until they’re half your library. CleanMaster clusters these so the choice is “keep one, drop the rest” instead of scrolling endlessly. Because it’s all on-device, your photos stay private while you tidy.

Tips & edge cases

Pick one keeper per cluster before selecting the rest.
Screenshots are their own group — a fast win for reclaiming space.
Rescan periodically; the incremental banner flags new clutter.

FAQ

What counts as a similar photo? Near-identical shots like bursts or repeated angles — visually similar rather than byte-for-byte duplicates.

Does it delete without asking? No. You review and select; nothing is deleted until you confirm.

Can it target screenshots specifically? Yes. Screenshots are surfaced as their own group so you can clear old ones quickly.
