In addition to new emojis, web push notifications, and a number of other features, the iOS 16.4 update extends support for duplicate image detection to the “Shared iCloud Photo Library.”

From there, you can merge all duplicate images. Initially, the duplicate detection option did not work with the "Shared iCloud Photo Library." But that will change with the iOS 16.4 update. According to Apple, after installing iOS 16.4, you will be able to detect and merge duplicate photos and videos in the Shared iCloud Photo Library to avoid unnecessary extra images.
