It would be really helpful if iOS Photos could suggest / compare visually similar images to easily choose the best one.

It also needs an interface to quickly swipe through a batch of say 100 photos every day to clean out the unwanted ones, like Tinder for your photo library.

These apps must exist somewhere!

I’m not sure Shortcuts has an ‘intelligence’ to its photo actions. I think the duplicates action is similar to the existing Duplicates folder that sometimes appears in the Photos app. 

Likely needs a small amount of AI to detect photos that have different hashes but look visually similar.

Has anyone created a shortcut to do either of those things?  

You can probably modify the existing photo shortcut to add if branches to do what you want. 

The new update includes some new features for finding duplicate photos, though I don’t remember details.

Design and software at Apple. Also into AI, philosophy of mind, ethics.

That’s true. But it doesn’t solve for the storage space or “quick, take a dozen pictures of the baby hoping one is good and we can easily compare later” problems.

It sort of does that. If you set the picker for “Days,” it tries to select the most aesthetic and representative photos.

I’m sure ChatGPT could help code up a small Swift project.

what a great little UX idea, I would use this a lot

100% agree on this! It happens a lot when taking selfies or multiple shots and you end up with 10+ versions of the same shot and then sorting through them is a pain. 

Image recognition, timestamp and location could help batch photos of the same subject and have an easy workflow to choose one & delete the rest
