    What's this BS with iCloud Photos not syncing?

    I get this all the time. iCloud Photos not syncing, beacause of: 1. Battery optimisation (no low power mode, mind you!). 2. Poor network (even on great WiFi). 3. Computer too hot. 4. More to come? The same applies for both Macs and iPhones (don't have an iPad). At the same time Google Photos...
