I solved my issue for now by doing the following:Ģ) Deleted the duplicate photos from the web version of Google Photos (yes, mine were duplicated on the web too).ģ) Deleted ALL of my photos from my Galaxy S7 Edge phone.Ĥ) Uninstalled the Google Photos app (which actually just downgraded it because it is a system app).ĥ) Updated the Google Photos app and turned backup on. Happening on my AT&T Galaxy S7 as well: duplicate photos on Photos app on phone only, not on the web app.There are quite a few threads about this issue on the Google Photos product forums.

Is there an active thread on this issue on Google Product Forums? Can you share a link? Would like to report the issue as well and stay plugged in to updates. If I access Photos online or on another synced device, the pictures aren't duplicated, it's just showing up that way on the Edge. But why are they duplicated?ģ) This is where it gets strange. One has the full device path just like the other pictures, leading me to think that's the actual and non-duplicated file, and then the other one only has the file name, no path, and most of the time, a smaller file size, which makes me think it's just the online version. Here are my 'symptoms':ġ) Duplicate photos seem to be random (might be HDR, but since I take HDR in Auto, I have no way of knowing which ones were taken that way)Ģ) Details on the duplicate pictures differ. I've seen this reported a couple times on the Photos forums and it seems to be only on S7's. Anyone else noticing 'duplicates' of their pictures in Google Photos? I'm not sure if it's just HDR pictures (and if so, I can't seem to find a way to disable the phone saving more than one picture), but for some reason I don't think that's the cause.
