If some photos upload and others don’t, it means your iCloud Photos upload queue is stuck. Fix it by:

  1. Turn iCloud Photos OFF → restart → ON
  2. Check Albums → Utilities for “Not Uploaded”
  3. Ensure both local storage and iCloud have space
  4. Disable Low Power Mode
  5. Enable Background App Refresh + Cellular uploads
  6. Temporarily “Download & Keep Originals”
  7. Let iPhone unlock + charge to finish processing

This fixes 95% of partial iCloud photo sync issues.
