Hidden Photos Not Syncing

After I hide a photo on my iPhone, I am not seeing it when I log into iCloud.com or on my other devices. I'm using iCloud photo library on all devices. Any suggestions?

iPhone 13 Pro

Greetings donhoos66,

In this article you’ll find the reason: Hide photos on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac - Apple Support

"If you use iCloud Photos, the photos that you hide on one device are hidden on your other devices too."

We hope this helps!

Sincerely.

Yes, I agree that’s how it supposed to work. But my hidden folder is not syncing.

Hi donhoos66,

Thanks for looking into that.

Are any other changes failing to sync?

If you made sure each device was signed in on the same account syncing with iCloud Photos, then there could be an account issue outside of your control. Contact Apple Support for help:

It was a simple fix for me. On my iMac under photos, view. I clicked on to show hidden photos. Bingo!
