15.4 not uploading to photo stream HEIF photos

[charliesixtwo]

Looks like it’s fixed in iOS 15.5

I updated to 15.5 on Tuesday 6pm. WED-THU no photo stream updates, then as of Fri (yesterday), all photos are now updating to MPS on Mac.

fingers crossed —I hope it continues to sync in 15.5+...

Since photostream has never supported heif, there won't ever be mentions in Release notes, not to either way...
"Let's keep those icloud-non-payers on their toes..."

 

[toke lahti]

exactly, AND its not all broken or fixed, I can take 4 identical pics in a series and only ONE will show up... so its like it IS working , but will not upload ALL the photos. very strange.

Are you taking these in Burst mode?

 

[kkclstuff]

no

and as I stated, it magically working now in 15.5 (without any changes to setting on my end)

So Apple got rid of PhotoStream for Windows via iCloud for Windows and for Apple TV but kept it for mobile devices?

Stopped working for me on 15.4, then *fixed it* by changing the camera setting from High Efficiency to Most Compatible. Worked fine until I updated to 15.5. The photos are definitely getting pushed off the iPhone, since they appear on my iPad- but not on my MBP. Tried all the usual stuff- toggle photo stream on/off/on on both iPhone and MBP, same with iCloud (don't recommend- seems to whack a lot of stuff on MacOS). My MBP is on 12.3.1- maybe I'll update to 12.4 over this long (US) holiday weekend and see if that does it.

Switch camera back to use High Efficiency photos rather than most compatible?
Guess photo stream is dead except for ios and ipadOS

I did that and it works again.

I did that and it works again.

My photo stream stopped after a couple days. I restarted the iPhone and it resumed properly. Weird still...

For me, Photostream has been bumby for all these years.

Must be some sort of bug as I was having exactly the same issue but instead of trying to get it to sync the usual way that we all use 90%+ of the time from iOS to OS I just thought that I would drag a photo (just some image that I'd downloaded) into the Photos app on the Mac itself (Monterry 12.5) and all of a sudden everything came alive! I started seeing the photographs and images from my iOS devices appear in my Photos app on the mac!

any such issues on iOS 16? holding back to update until someone can verify photostream works on iOS 16

Wow, this trick worked for me as well. But I can't believe that Photo Stream is so weak these days!

And by the way, is it working in Ventura?
