Perhaps you may have to check and maybe change settings

if you've used iCloud Photo &/or other means to transmit

images from iPhone to a Mac. Many other things are shared

across wireless or other connections between iDevice + Mac.

There also is an older article, with updates; about Continuity

settings for most anything that may need checked & reset.

And this is a newer article..

an older one has recent updates, too..

Even how the Mac uses Data can affect the iPhone and images.

These are all over the place, in more than few locations in both.


If you test items through Continuity, one of them is AirDrop.

That should work in near proximity; a code is used to enable.

{..That's not likely to be an answer, so much as example..}


Sorry to not have kept notes after multi weeks of torment

in hunting down 'iCloud' issues; across three devices, etc.


Good luck & happy trails! ☺︎
