How to Find Duplicate Files on Samsung Phones (One UI 6.0) Android 14

It is a daunting task to find duplicate photos and video on your Galaxy phones? Worry not! In this guide, we’ll show you all the easiest method to find duplicate files on Samsung Galaxy running One UI 6.0 based on Android 14.

Sometimes, we end up with two or more copies of the same photo on our phones. It happens when we take a picture more than once, or when we save the same photo from different places. These extra copies can fill up our phone storage pretty fast. It’s a good habit to check for these duplicates now and then and remove them to free up space on your phone. The My Files app can be a handy helper to tidy up your files and give your phone some breathing room by clearing up a bit of extra space.

My Files App

The My Files App is like a super organized helper for all your stuff on your phone. It’s not just for the stuff inside your phone but also for the things on your SD cards, USB drives, and even in your cloud storage. It sets you up with some handy folders, but you can make your own too! Plus, you can do lots of things with your files, like moving them around, copying, sharing, and squishing them into smaller sizes or unpacking them when needed.

Most Samsung phones have the My Files app ready to go, but if you don’t have a Samsung, you can grab it from the Play Store. If that’s not an option, Files by Google works pretty similarly and can help keep your stuff neat and tidy.
