icloud photo uploads

Should it be taking all day to get my photos uploaded from my iphone to the icloud? I just signed up for icloud and I do have about 19, 000 photos. I can hardly notice any progress

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 16

Depending on the size of your library the initial sync can take days. Subsequent syncs are much faster. Plug in the phone overnight and leave it locked. You can check the status:

Open photos

Tap library

scroll to the bottom


You'll see a count of items and the current cloud status.
