Downloading single originals from iCloud to iPhone

Hey everyone!

So in my iCloud sync settings I have the option to store all of my photos on the Cloud selected in order to save memory on my iPhone. I know that changing this setting to “keep the originals” will initiate download of all my full resolution photos from the Cloud to my iPhone…. but I can’t find an option to download only the selected originals. Is there a possibility to select a few photos that I need in full res on my iPhone and download them from iCloud onto my device selectively?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

There is no provision to select images / photos that can be downloaded in full resolution to your iPhone. It is an all or nothing approach. Either download all photos in original resolution or none.

I do like your question and can see value to that feature. You can suggest this feature directly to Apple by leaving a product feedback here 👉 Product Feedback - Apple
