Hi XX28, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Do you have any filters applied to your images, such as portrait mode, or are you using a non-standard camera app?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay, thanks for your response. i sometimes use portrait mode on the camera but it’s not only these photos being duplicated. It’s all of them.  I don’t use any other camera app. Thanks

    Just to check , are you using the camera upload feature, or are you uploading them manually?
