There should be an option to turn on "Sync to Icloud Immediately" permanently

Whenever I check the Photos app 50% of the time it says something like "pause syncing for performance", "pause syncing for low battery" or "pause due to poor connectivity". Sometimes it would pause syncing for days before i hit the unpause button manually. Which defeats the purpose when you're trying to protect those data.

Fortunately ios 27 introduces a feature called “Sync Immediately” for Icloud Photos allowing it to prioritize syncing over performance, battery, and connectivity. But you can only turn “sync immediately” on for the day before it turn off automatically, why Apple??? bruh

Transfer data from windows to iphone

Soo i have 27GB of photos and videos on my pc that i need on my phone, i will have to delete them from the pc afterwards , does anyone know a way to transfer these safely? Anything helps.
Also, I was thinking if I could get iCloud plus because my personal storage is full and then I transferred them like through iCloud from my computer to my phone and then I cancel the iCloud would they still still on my phone or is that a bad idea?

Hi everybody,

Switching from Apple to Android.

22,000 photos and 2,500 videos stored in icloud. Tried the automatic transfer from icloud to google drive. Took 10 days, only to get an error message. (Yes, google has more than enough space, purchaed a bigger plan before transferring).

Is there any way to transfer my files easily?

Breakup

Hi guys, me and my girlfriend broke up after 8 years together. We both have an icloud family account where I'm the organizer. The question is what do I have to do to remove her but we both keep all the data. Like for example we used the shared libary in the photos app. (nearly all of our pictures are in there)

Did anyone the same? I don't want to lose any data.

Thanks

How do you easily share a large iCloud photo album with someone who does not use Apple devices?

Hi,

Maybe this is a simple question, but how do you share hundreds of photos taken on an iPhone / stored in iCloud with someone who is completely outside the Apple ecosystem?

I use Android. I do not have any Apple device and I do not plan to buy one. I use OneDrive: my phone photos are uploaded automatically, then I create an album, select the photos I want to share (in original quality), and send a link. I can choose if the other person can only view the album or also add/edit photos.

But when I go on holiday with people who use iPhones, it is often difficult to collect or share hundreds of photos. I looked at the iCloud options, but I did not find something as simple for creating an album that can be viewed by someone with no iPhone, no Mac, and no Apple account.

So, what is your method? Do you use an iCloud Shared Album with a web link? Another service? Can the photos still be accessed in original quality?

PS: Answers like “it is easy if you have an iPhone/Mac” are a bit off topic. The point is exactly to share with someone outside the Apple ecosystem.
