    How to transfer photos to iPhone 12 from Samsung Galaxy S9

    I'm making the switch from Android to iPhone, but I can't transfer my old photos without losing their metadata. When I transfer them over, the photos' dates get changed to the date of transfer, and I lose the photos' location data altogether. I still have the old phone (Samsung Galaxy S9)...

    Creating, Editing, & Sharing Memories on Mac OS Big Sur?

    I recall in Catalina that you used to be able to edit and share Memories within the Photos app on Mac; similar to how you are able to on iPhone and iPad. However, I'm unable to find the same tools/ menu items that existed in the previous OS. Is this just me? A glitch of some sort? Seems like now...

    Green lines on random images in Photos app

    Does anyone else see this? For reference I'm on an M1 MBA. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which photos this affects. It didn't bother me much at first until I realized they also upload to websites that way :(. Thoughts?

    Which is it?! This is VERY confusing...

    These screen shots are pulled from my MacBook Air, but my phone says it's processing photos, also.

    Photos.app and excessive HDD read/write on the drive where ”Photos Library.photoslibrary” resides

    It is crazy how often the drive keeps reading and writing for some reason (yes, I have a quite loud 6 TB Western Digital Black). I also use Backblaze which I've now disabled for that specific drive, but the drive keeps being accessed a lot. Don't know what's going on really because I can't see...

    iPhone photos not syncing with my MBP

    I took some photos with my new iPhone 12 Pro Max but I don't see it on my iCloud Drive on my macOS Mojave MBP. Do we need to explicitly sync them using an app or service etc ? I thought it would automatically get downloaded to my mac.
