iPhone photos app curation

They tell us that for curation the phone needs to be plugged to power. If you have hundreds or even thousands of photos to curate which takes a tremendous amount of time I wonder how that works? Buy a second iPhone while the first is plugged to power source for days??? Very clever... I face the same issue and that feature doesn't work for me at all. Too much of a hassle. I am happy with Google Photos.

You can use Photos independent of the curating. We do not need to know, if Photos is still "curating" or not. It would be much better if Apple would just hide the irritating message. It will start again anyway, as soon as we import new photos, favorite some photos, crop photos, or do anything else that might change the curated layout.

On my iMac I've tried this a couple different ways on a Solid State drive and on the Mac's hard drive (I delete the Photos library and make a new one each test). I can load about four photos, and get "Curation Complete" except there's a message underneath that says something like "Curation will start when your device is connected to power."

When I load the fifth photo the endless curation starts. If I delete that fifth photo (and I've tried loading different images) the curation stops, but starts the next time I load an image. If I delete the third or fourth photo the curation continues.

I get same results whether or not the Photos library is a System library. I've been logged into iCloud with Photos selected for all of these tests.

One more round, then I look for a different piece of software.

I had this issue too----spent hours and hours on it over weeks with Apple support-----finally Apple gave up and told me to wait for future update-----that was weeks ago ----still awaiting update

Let Photos do its thing with the iPhone locked and connected to power, as the message says below the Photos view. It will be a long wait.

Please, keep me posted in order to do the same steps if that works for you :)

of course!

I am at work right now so when I get home I will check to see if it successfully curated and post back

I will have my current phone connected to power for now and see what happens then ~

Where is your curation process stuck? Mine is about 80-90% (no number is provided...)

same percentage it is literally at the verge of finishing

Same issue here. in addition many of my thumbnails appear blank even though on my ipad running ios 13.1 all thumbnails appear. is this a bug apple needs to fix??????
