Generally speaking a new address is added when there are any differences, even an added coma, period etc. will create an additional address. If you tap the edit button in the upper right corner of the screen you can delete the duplicate addresses.


Yes, those can safely be deleted.


Note that if you re-use one of those addresses for an ApplePay transaction, you’ll see that it will return to the list.


However, unlike Jeff’s recommendation, I’ve found that the list of “previously used” e-mail addresses to display only while initiating an actual ApplePay payment - so you have to “pick your window of editing opportunity”. (I’ve routinely deleted them from there)
