iPhone photos app curation

I really don't understand how much time does the process take. I have a work mate that installed iOS 13 last Friday and the process was over in less than 2 days.

My guess is that the process is stuck because the iOS Photos App is trying to sync in some way with the OS X Photos App. However, as Catalina has not been released yet, that sync cannot be completed. Do you have a Mac with the Photos app enabled?

So glad I came across this user community when I searched "Mac photo curation". I have about 15 apple devices. I love apple. It has never really let me down. My iPhone X finally finished after about one week. (I have 78,000 images in photos), but the iPad is still processing along. After reading the posts here, I am going to try be patient and just wait on the iPad. The iPad is an older one and iPhone X xms. So, the iphone finishing before the ipad makes sense. But I hate the "waiting" game when it comes to devices and their wait times from processing and such.

How many photos do you have on the iPhone? It may take several days, if your library is large. For my library with 50000 photos the curating has not yet finished on any device. Did you already update iOS 13.1? This will fix some bugs.

even if it has been almost a week now ?

Ive turned of iCloud photos and deleted all the photos on my phone and then turned on photos again.

so ill post if anything happens

Im doing this on my old phone so I'm not too worried if anything goes wrong anyways.

As for my new device ill leave photos just curating

I am the OP using a second account as I am not allowed to have phones and logging in requires me to get a code.

I have around 853 phots and videos.

It is weird because the iPad has finished the curation and it has the same amount of photos.

I did update to 13.1 and hoped that it would fix it.

I have recent back up of my phone, I just don't want to restore it via recovery mode/itunes.

I guess I will wait till the end of the week and see if it finishes.

Compare to how much photos you have mine shouldn't take more than a week considering that the iPad has finished

iCloud might be interfering, if you are using iCloud Photos on your devices with "Optimize Storage". I noticed that the scanning of the library for face recognition and object recognition takes much longer, if the photos are not stored locally on my iPhone or iPad. After I disabled "Optimize Storage" the scan finished much faster. The curating requires the previous face detection and object recognition. Can you afford to have all photos and videos stored locally on your devices?

yes, I switched the photos to local as I did not like photos requiring internet.

It was on optimized before.

On my other phone that I do not use I have it still set for optimize photo

while for the new phone its on local

I am having the exactly same problem. I installed iOS 13 on the keynote day and it has been curating photos since then (two weeks ago). Yesterday, I installed iOS 13.1 but it is still curating photos :(. I do not know what to do in order to unstuck the process.

I have 11k photos and 500 videos. My iPhone X has 64 GB so for me it's impossible to download all the original photos into my device. I have also been checking the face recognition process and it finished last week. However, even that process is over, the curation process have been stuck at the same point for days :(.

Have been using iOS 13 during the beta test, and there the first curating take more than three weeks. But my library has 50000 photos. After updating to iOS 13.1 it is still curating. I am keeping the iPhone connected to power and locked nearly all the time.

I only have 2000 photos and about 30 videos and my iphone which is an Iphone X on IOS 13.1 is still after hours of being plugged in and locked only about 25 percent of the way done and no movement at all. Don't know how to fix this or why this is happening!

I have the same issue on my XSMax after update to iOS 13, it was completed on my old phone, the 6S but seem like it takes forever to complete on the XSM (around 11,000 pics). I am glad I found this thread because I could not find the discussion about this issue anywhere else. Still really bugging me seeing that progress bar :(
