Can Duplicate Cleaner Recognize iPhone 6s?

Post by mtnflyer »

I am trying to determine which photos I have already downloaded to my Windows 10 PC from my iPhone 6s. I cannot get DC Pro to see my iPhone (for the "Scan Location") step. Any suggestions?

IOS devices connect to Windows as media devices, and as such can't easily be accessed by Duplicate Cleaner currently.
As it stands you'd need to run a 3rd party program such as MTPDrive to assign a drive letter to the iPhone - I haven't tested this though and can't give any recommendations!

A long-winded workaround it to copy the files off the iPhone to a temporary folder and use that for comparison.

Thanks for the prompt reply, and for the tips. I agree those are probably the best two ways forward---I was just hoping I was missing the "easy button". Thanks again.
