Hi Sweet Steffanie J,


The ‘Duplicates’ album in Photos appears under “Utilities” when Photos detects duplicates in the library. The detection process requires the device to be locked and connected to power, and depending on the size of the library and other background tasks going on, could happen quickly or take up to a few days to fully process.


Take care!
