    Duplicate photos; merging metadata; demystifying Photos.app and many other questions

    TLDR: Current main goal is to have a photo library that only contain the highest quality version of a photo that I have, along with the correct metadata (time captured; GPS, camera if possible). Hide/tag all non-photos (art/memes/etc). I have already done a lot of manual work, but moving...

    Stalled upload of a few photos to iCloud new iPhone or iPad

    I just purchased a new iPhone SE 3 and an M1 iPad Pro. Both updated to IOS 15.6.

Everything worked fine except the iCloud Photo Library...
