Photos

My photos aren’t loading, they have that circle with the exclamation point on the corner of the picture. I am connected to the wifi, have data, and I just bought more iCloud storage and they still aren’t loading

Hello sofiFL,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand that you are having an issue with your iCloud Photos not loading. I'm happy to help you find some information.


While you mentioned that you purchased additional iCloud storage, I would also like to have you confirm that you have enough free space on the iOS device itself to download photos from iCloud Photos:

After that, see if you can download a copy of the original photos that have an exclamation point on them following the steps here:


Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support



If you have any issues after reviewing the links, please let me know.


Have a great day!
