In the Photos App uncheck the "Open Photos for this device" checkmark at the top of the window.

iPhone and Photos Every time I connect my iPhone to my MacBook, it automatically opens Photos. I cannot shut Photos down to work on anything else because it keeps re-opening. How do I stop this from happening?

On my iPad 6th Generation (with SW 10.1) I cannot open photos On my iPad 6th Generation (SW 14.0.1) I cannot open photos. When I try it opens for far less than a second and then returns to the home screen. Photos functions perfectly on both my MAC and my iPhone. This change only occurred after I updated to 14.0.1 - prior to this everything worked perfectly for around a year.
