I’ve mistakenly deleted a shared album on my MacBook (running Catalina). It is still on my iPhone (running IOS 13.5).
Can I get my shared album (called 2020) back on my Mac. I’ve tried copying all 443 photos from my iPhone but my phone then stays stuck on ‘Downloading’ but gets nowhere after a couple of hours I’ve given up with this method.

Can anyone help with any suggestions that may work please.

Thanks. Mike

save photos in folder in files on iPhone in the cloud on then on macbook, go to file, select all and pop them into photos app

are you low on storage on iPhone? if so, offload some space heavy apps and it should not get stuck at downloading (you can add apps right back after you get photos on macbook)

also, always back up all photos with google photos, just in case
