When I add a description to a Foto on iPhone (X iOS 15.5) this description is not transferred via cable (USB) to Fotos (6.0) on my iMac / Catalina or Mac Book / Big Sur).
This seems a problem of the sync program.
I don't use iCloud or any other possibilities, because this is the standard way to Synchronise Fotos.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
Yes and no! When you import the foto as it is modified, it is shown in the modified version, however you have the option revert to the original. So it could also be possible to transfer the text you gave to the foto.
If you transfer the foto from iPhone via Airdrop in the download folder of the iMac and from Foto you import the picture into the foto library, the Caption (Text) is also transferred.
There is obviously an error in the transfer program via USB cable!
"léonie: The transfer via a USB cable is supposed to transfer the unmodified original, not the edited version. The caption is not embedded in the original, so it is not transferred."
