The smartphone is definitely the best camera we can have, because it is always available, because it is fast to use and ready for sharing photos on Facebook or on any other app for social networks or chat. The only problem with using the smartphone's camera very frequently is that you end up filling the internal memory with double, triple or quadruple photos, repeated shots and images that should be deleted as soon as possible, to prevent them from accumulating and occupying too much space. The good ones, more precise and scrupulous, review the photos one by one deciding which ones to keep and which to delete, but most people do not have much patience and save the whole album as long as there is space, only to intervene when the memory is now sold out.
If we want to optimize the internal memory and gallery of an Android smartphone, in this guide we will show you the best apps to automatically identify photos that have gone wrong or duplicate that are worth canceling to free up space, so as to leave only the most photos on our smartphone beautiful.

How to delete bad photos or duplicates on Android
Using one of the apps shown below we will be able to automatically delete all the useless shots and images on the phone and recover a lot of space, to be used to take new photos or to install new apps.Google File
The first app we recommend you use is Google File, available for free for any Android device.
With this app we will have a complete file manager, able to report and delete, at regular intervals, any type of useless file, also indicating the photographs identified (by the app itself) as a duplicate or photos to be deleted. However, we can always check all the reported image files and decide what to remove and what to stay, so as to effectively filter the bad photos and remove all the duplicates that we will inevitably find in our internal memory.
To learn more about the features of this Google app, we can read our guide on Google's Go Files to free up space, manage files and send them (Android) .
Google Photos
The Google Photos app also allows you to selectively delete photos that have gone wrong or those already present in Google's online backup, so as to free up the internal memory.
At regular intervals, the app will examine all the photos and images in the phone and report those that can be deleted because they are already present as an online backup or because they are indicated as duplicates or not very beautiful photos (moved, without framing, black etc.). Also in this case we can always check the photos reported by the app and keep those that we do not want to be deleted (useless enough, since the beautiful photos are not lost being already saved online).
If we don't know how to use Google Photos for photo backup, we recommend you read our guide on the Google Photos App with unlimited backup from Android, iPhone and PC .
Junk Photo & Video Cleaner
Another very effective app to remove bad photos or duplicates is Junk Photo & Video Cleaner, available for free.
After installing it, the first time the app analyzes the photos on the device, also using Google's intelligent search engine (called Google Cloud Vision, the same also present on Google Photos and Google File) for scanning.
At the end of the scan, the app will show us the really bad and bad photos because they are blurry, black or simply that do not portray anything; in addition to these photos, multiple shots, too long videos, too short videos and videos that do not contain any scene (black or blue) are also detected.
For each type of recommendation, you can touch the button to review the photos or videos and delete them. Those that have gone wrong are all selected for cancellation, but you can remove the trash can symbol for those you want to keep. For those with duplicates, on the other hand, it is indicated which one is better and which ones it is recommended to cancel .
Once all the selections have been checked, we can delete ugly or useless photos with just one tap on the screen! The app is able to report to us at regular intervals the presence of too many photos to be deleted, so that we can quickly intervene to free up memory immediately.
Remo Duplicate Photos Remover
If our photo gallery is full of duplicates or multiple copies of the same shot, we recommend trying the power of the free Remo Duplicate Photos Remover app.
Once installed, simply start the scan and wait for the end of the scan, in order to view all the duplicate photos on the device. Through a special mirror system we will be able to compare the various duplicates identified by the app, so as to choose which photo to keep and which photo to delete instead.
It is currently one of the best apps for acting on duplicate photos, so as not to leave too much space for artificial intelligence (which can also make mistakes): we will always choose which photos should be deleted and which duplicates to keep on our smartphone.
Cleaner for WhatsApp
If the problem of photos and images concerns WhatsApp chats, we can clean the multimedia folder of the famous messaging app using the free program Cleaner for WhatsApp.
With this app installed on our Android device we can quickly scan all the folders of WhatsApp, so as to analyze the photos and images shared in the various chats and delete them, so as to recover a lot of internal memory without having to necessarily physically delete all the chat. If we have activated the automatic backup of WhatsApp, most of the photos will also be saved online and we will never lose them completely (they will be restored together with the app in the next installation).
Conclusions
Using the apps we have mentioned, we will be able to effectively eliminate bad photos from the Android Gallery, acting when reported by the apps or when we feel the need to do a little cleaning to recover space in the memory.If we are looking for a way to compress all the photos and reduce the space occupied, we recommend you read our guide on how to compress photos and reduce the size of images on Android . Alternatively we can move photos and larger images to the microSD (if supported), as seen in our guide on how to move files to the SD (Android) by freeing up internal memory .
We need to extend memory cleaning to other areas of the system or to other apps "> App to clean Android from unnecessary files that take up space, so as to perform a deep cleaning of the internal memory and of the microSD (if present).
