IPhone – Not all pictures appear in apps

icloudiphonephotos

Ever since I enabled iCloud Photo Library, only my most recent photos have been appearing in apps. For example, if I go to upload a picture to Twitter, only the last 70 out of 300 pictures are shown. This holds true for other apps like Instagram and Dropbox, but the numbers do vary slightly (anywhere from 70 go 66 photos).

When I change my profile picture on Instagram, I have access to Momements, which includes all the photos, but not when uploading a picture to post.

Is there an issue with my iPhone, or is this a bug?

I believe that imported pictures aren't displayed in the "Media Inspector" > "Photos" tab > "iCloud "sidebar item…

In "iPhoto.app" > "Preferences" cmd , check if in the "iCloud" tab the followings are ticked :

  • "My Photo Stream"
  • "Automatic Import"

"iPhoto.app" > "iPhoto" menu > "Preferences" > "iCloud" tab

If so you might consider creating a "Smart Album" cmd alt ⌥ N For example "iCloud Stream" that will match "all" the following conditions :

"iPhoto.app" > "File" menu > "New Smart Album …" item

  • "Keyword" > "is" > "Photo Stream" ;

get last month (as for iCloud)

  • "Date" > "is in the last" > "1" > "Months" ;

Creating a "Smart Album" with name "iCloud Stream" meeting "all" the following conditions date is in "the last 1 month" and keyword is "Photo Stream"

In a "Media Inspector" you may know select your newly created smart album "iCloud Stream" : "Media Inspector" > "Photos" tab > "iCloud Stream" smart album
