How come when I favorite a photo on my iPhone that this doesn’t translate to when I upload it to photos for Mac? I want photos for Mac to keep them as favorited photos or else I have to go through thousands all over again.
iPhone X, iOS 12
When you import photos from your iPhone to Photos on the Mac, you will import the unmodified originals, exactly as the have been taken with the camera, no favorite tag, no adjustment.
If you want to transfer the Favorite tag and adjustments you apply, or the albums you create on the iPhone, you need to sync the iPhone and the Mac with iCloud Photos. Then the Photos Libraries on both devices will be identical, including the Favorite tags or adjustments you applied.
