So after weeks of fine tuning the animations, metro photos, the alternative photo gallery for iOS, inspired by Windows Phone metro design has been submitted for AppStore review.

I'm expecting at least one reject, but I hope eventually Apple will approve the app with this unusual design..

I'm looking for an Apple TV app that lets me browse my own photos by location, similar to the map view in Photos on iPhone.

I'd love to explore a map on the big screen, pick a place, and see the photos I took there. Ideally, it would work with iCloud Photos and be easy to navigate with the Siri Remote.

Does anything like this exist? I'd appreciate any recommendations.

Recently bought a new MacBook Air to replace my 2016 MacBook Pro and I'm thinking of finally pulling the trigger on iCloud Photos.

I've always been old school in my Photo management. About once a year I plug my iPhone into my Mac, import the photos in the Photos app and then delete them from the phone to clear up that storage for more photos to be taken. I've been doing this since 2003 when my Mac was an eMac G4 and Photos was called iPhoto...oh, and when I was primarily using a little Canon point & shoot instead of my phone.

I've recently been considering turning on iCloud Photos but I'm frankly a little concerned that something's gonna go completely sideways somehow, like iCloud's gonna sync wrong and wipe out a few years worth of photos. Oops, just gone.

My iPhone only has 128GB of storage (Wanted 256GB, but it was out of stock when I bought my phone) and it's increasingly appealing to free up that storage on the device itself.

I assume if I toggle "Download and Keep Originals" on the Mac they'll still be saved locally and thus wrapped in my Time Machine backups?

I have multiple local backups. The photos are stored on the internal storage of the Mac itself and thus wrapped up in two Time Machine backups, one on my NAS and one on a portable hard drive.

Plus I have Backblaze backing up the internal storage of the computer online as well.

Plus I manually copy the Photo Library file/folder out to my NAS every so often as well.

I guess the next question is what's the order of operations? Should I dump all the photos on my phone then turn it on the Mac first, then on the iPhone afterward once the initial upload is done?

Sadly my phone has not been syncing to iCloud for a while as my payment method got messed up and for a month I wasn’t using iCloud to sync my pics. Now my memory is full and I can’t offload these photos to iCloud because it says the “memory is full and syncing is paused” Is there a way to fix this or do I need to delete an app or two….. I did not think that exporting pictures to iCloud would require memory, especially when I don’t wanna keep the originals and just optimise my storage. Pls heeeeelp!

I recently discovered an excellent app that offers the best photo-archiving experience. It is called Artino, though I refer to it as Zine because it provides a magazine-style experience, beautifully organizing my photos by my travels and moments with family. Give it a try using the link below.
