I am trying to sync my iPhone photo library into the cloud, and I would like to see the current status of the sync. I have been syncing for almost 36 hours now, but my iPhone has simply indicated "Syncing 2,782 items" the entire time. Is there anyway to see the progress of the Sync, or how much longer it will take? I need to send the phone back and cannot wait much longer... thanks for any tips or advice!
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16
Hey mattyp650,
Depending on the amount of photos and videos along with the internet speeds, it can take some time to complete the syncing process. Your upload may take a couple of days to complete.
To check the status and pause the upload, follow the steps below:
This information is from Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support.
Sincerely.

There is no time indicator, but you can also check by going to Settings > [your name on top] > iCloud > Photos. You may see a progress wheel, but it does not give you any indication on how many photos are left to sync or how much time it will take.
Just plug in your iPhone and make sure you are connected to a strong Wifi. I had 2000 photos/videos when I activated iCloud Photos and it took 1-2 hours until it was done. It may take longer if you have a lot of videos.
How to see status of iCloud photo sync?
