That's perfect, thanks, Ria!
I removed the link, to avoid traffic in your account, and added the photos to your reply.
Out of curiosity, do you have any 3rd party apps that you use to edit photos on your phone?

Thank you.
I only use the windows photo app or very seldom PhotoWorks.
The duplication, when downloading photos, started well after I started using PhotoWorks.
Thanks
