    ProRAW Photos Soften Drastically Upon Editing - Anyone Else?

    Hi everyone, I've noticed something that's a bit frustrating with ProRAW photos on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. When I view a ProRAW image in the Photos app, it initially appears sharp and well-processed, almost like a really good HEIF Max image. However, the instant I tap "Edit," the image softens...

    Why is photos taking up so much space?

    Photos is taking up a ton more space than I want. I have optimize photo storage on so I’d expect iCloud to remove the photos when my storage gets too full. Right now it’s telling me I can’t update my phone because there’s not enough storage to download the update. It’s been saying that since...

    Airdropped pics now buried in camera roll. Any suggestions?

    Since this iOS 18 update and the change to the photos app I’ve noticed that if I airdrop a pic from my Mac to my iPhone the pic falls into my camera roll by date, making it tough to find. Prior to iOS 18, any pic I airdropped was my newest pic in my camera roll and easy to find. Now, if the pic...

    Hey all, I did a clean iOS setup when I bought an iPhone 16 Pro 2 weeks ago. I logged in using iCloud (no backup) and restored all my photos. Today, after 2 weeks, I wanted to find a photo using the word "home" but it did not work. Also, I tried to enter my street name. It did not work as...

    My Apple Watch counts 15 photos but I don't have any synchronized

    I have seen in the Apple community that there are reports that this has been happening for many years, has Apple still not solved it? Does it happen to anyone else? Is there a solution?

    iPhone Shortcut to save photos to a specific album?

    I’ve just started a trial of the Halide photo app. I’m trying to figure out how photos I take with it can automatically be added to an album which I’ve called ‘Halide’ in the Photos app. I’m sure there’s probably a way of doing this with Shortcuts, but I’ve absolutely no idea how. Can anyone...

    Merging Multiple Photos Databases (External + iCloud)

    I am sure a variation of this request has come up in the past but since software and hardware change so fast, I thought I'd try to be concise and break it down as best as possible.
