    Why aren't my photos being uploaded to iCloud? My phone doesn't have any storage space left.

    As you can see here, I have used 127.8 of 128 GB on my iPhone: But only 1% of photos are uploaded to iCloud Photos, as you also can see in the picture above. Why is that? I have a lot of free iCloud space: And I have enabled "iCloud Photos" and "Optimise iPhone Storage": Shouldn't my...

    Which apps will scan photos using NeuralHash? Photos? Notes?

    When iOS 15 is available I'm going to disable iCloud sync for the Photos app. If I want to prevent Apple from searching my device completely, are there any other apps where I need to disable iCloud? What about Apple Notes? I have some notes that link to or embed images.

    Photos App Filters Outdated?

    I don’t remember the last time the filters in the Photos app got a refresh, but I feel like they’re due for one. I think Apple could really blow us all away with some professional options instead of what feels like 2010 Instagram looks.

    Photos" Confusion and Best of all worlds

    Background: 1) I was a fan of Picasa. Quick photo viewer, great for a 'folder only slideshow. 2) I'm still in the folders and files world, so would prefer that my photos remain in this format. I can simply go to "2012-> FIFA World Cup -> Finals photos" and see photos. If Apple Photos open...
