Photos not syncing with iCloud

Hello MariPar,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Let's verify you set up iCloud Photos using these steps to guide you:

"Set up iCloud Photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

1. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos.
2. Do one of the following:

• iOS 16, iPadOS 16, or later: Turn on Sync this [device].

• iOS 15, iPadOS 15, or earlier: Turn on iCloud Photos.

All the photos and videos in the Photos app on your device are added to iCloud. Also, any photos and videos already stored in iCloud Photos are now available on your device.

3.To view photos and videos stored in iCloud Photos, open the Photos app, then tap Library. All the photos and videos you see are stored in iCloud Photos.

For more information on how to use iCloud Photos and optimize photo storage on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, see any of the following:

• iPhone User Guide: Use iCloud Photos on iPhone
• iPad User Guide: Use iCloud Photos on iPad
• iPod touch User Guide (iOS 15 or earlier): Use iCloud Photos on iPod touch"

Additional details can be found here: Set up iCloud Photos on all your devices

If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? What do you see when you log into iCloud photos via a web browser?

Cheers!

Hi MariPar,

Thanks for letting us know more.

Since the photos aren't syncing, please check out this link, which has some additional suggestions that may help resolve this issue: If your iCloud Photos aren't syncing to your device

If your photos still aren't syncing to iCloud

Learn what to do if you don't see a status message at the bottom of the Photos app that explains why your photos aren't syncing, or syncing is taking a long time. If you see a Couldn’t Sync [number of items] to iCloud status message, learn how to move these photos to your library. 

Connect your device to power

If your device seems to be stuck on a status message that says Syncing [number of items] to iCloud or Syncing with iCloud…, connect your iPhone or iPad to power and to Wi-Fi.

Check your Apple ID

Make sure that you signed in to iCloud with the correct Apple ID on your device.

Check which Library view you're in

If you set up iCloud Shared Photo Library in iOS 16.1 or later, iPadOS 16.1 or later, or macOS Ventura or later, check which Library view you're in. When you move photos to your Shared Library, you no longer see them in your Personal Library. You also won't see photos moved to your Shared Library if you're on a device with an earlier version of iOS, iPadOS, or macOS or if the iCloud Shared Photo Library owner has run out of iCloud storage.

If that doesn't help, please contact Apple Support, so they can provide additional assistance with this issue. You may be able to reach them here: Get Support
