Photos is organized into Library, For You, Albums, and Search. When you turn on iCloud Photos, your collection is kept up to date across your devices. And with the advanced search features, you can easily find photos based on a person, place, object, or event.

My shared photo albums are syncing between my iPhone and my iPad but not to my Mac. Also, when I try to create a new 'shared' album on the photos app on my Mac, it will not create at all. Basically nothing with the photo-sharing on my Mac is working at all. Apr 01, 2020 If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photos, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photos. If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photos for more than one library in Photos. Turn on Finder integration. If you’re on OSX 10.10 or higher, get sync status directly from Finder by enabling Finder overlays in Settings. First, click the Apple logo in the top left corner of your Mac Desktop and select System Preferences, then select Extensions in the top-level menu (shown in the 3rd row from the top). In this tutorial, you will discover How to download photos from iCloud to your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC. New photos and videos added to iCloud Photos will automatically download to your PC. You can keep your entire collection of digital photographs and scanned images on your MacBook well ordered and easily retrieved by using iPhoto’s organize mode. The most familiar method of organizing images in iPhoto is the album. Each album can represent any division you like, be it a year, a vacation, your daughter, or your daughter’s ex-boyfriends.

Before you begin

• Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
• Set up iCloud on all your devices.
• Make sure that you’re signed in with the same Apple ID.

Library

Enjoy a curated view of your moments in the Library tab, then browse by years, months, days, or all photos. You'll also see Live Photos and videos come to life as you scroll and browse.

• Years: View your entire library of photos and videos that you've taken each year. Then swipe to scan the highlights.
• Months: See groups of photos and videos taken during each month by memories and locations. Tap the More button to share or play a movie created from your moments.
• Days: Browse photos of the day and watch some of your videos automatically play as you scroll. Tap a photo and swipe up to see its location on a map and the people in it.
• All Photos: See your complete photo library including screenshots and duplicate photos in the order they were taken.

With iOS 14, you can filter what gets displayed, so it's easier to browse through your Library. For example, you can choose to show only photos or only videos. To filter what you see:

1. Tap the Library tab, then tap the More button in the upper-right corner.
2. Tap Filter, then choose an option.
3. Tap Done.

To undo the filter, tap the Filters button near the top of your screen, then choose an option, and tap Done.

Live Photos and videos won't autoplay in Photos when Low Power Mode is enabled.

For You

In the For You tab, Photos searches for your photos and videos to find moments that stand out, then presents them in collections called Memories. You can also see Shared Album activity, get ideas for adding effects to select photos, and find Sharing Suggestions, which are collections of photos you can share.

Albums

In the Albums tab, you find the albums that you’ve created, shared albums that you've created or joined, and collections of different types of photos and videos, like Selfies, Portrait, and Slo-mo. You can also look at your photos arranged on a world map in the Places album, or browse your photos based on who’s in them in the People album.

The Recents album shows your entire collection in the order you added them to your library. When you use iCloud Photos, the changes you make to your albums on one device appear on your other devices too.
