Photos management: Deleting duplicates and old photos

Hi fellow guides!Hope you are having a great weekend! I was going through my contributions and I found that there is a space for improvements in the way our photo are displayed. Precisely, it is possible to sort photo by date and most viewed photo. But, how about all the pics with low number of views?

I started to question myself if it should be the case to remove them as low views could mean that these pics are not enough informative or useful to the audience. But I have to scroll down, down and down… Also, if you want to delete photos, it’s not possible to choose multiple pictures and delete them in one go, but you should do it one by one. Moreover, I think it could be good to have a feature which can detect duplicates photos and reviews. This would help not only to update photos replacing the oldest with the newest, but also to improve the quantity and quality of our pics avoiding “spamming”, in the meaning of having hundreds photo from the same person for the same place. What do you think? Is any of these feature already available and I don’t know how to get them? Thank you in advance!

Hello @_la_gatto these features are not available at the moment, but they have been requested before… You are certainly not the only one with these concerns!

Hi @_la_gatto ,

It is always good to remove pictures posted twice and near similar pictures. And pictures with people and especially kids on them. But removing all pics with low view count would be too much work. As long as there is no easy way to find them, I would not waste time on it. Googles AI is primed to show newer and better pics first. So don’t worry.

If you search the Idea exchange you will find a few related proposals you can vote for.

Cheers
