Photos app stuck on optimizing library

Am facing the same problem.i follow all the instructions like charge the phone over night with WiFi ON etc..but issue not solved

I’m having the same problem but mine had been stuck at 0% and the battery is continuously warm or hot at some point. This happened when I upgraded to ios18. Any other suggestions?

even i have the same problem and mine is stuck at 44%. Not sure what to do and how to proceed further. I tried all of them but nothing worked

Okay i’ve synced my photos twice because I deleted them on accident (oops) but it seems your phone has to meet the following criteria:

- Phone needs to be on the charger

- Phone NEEDS to be at 100%

- Needs to be connected to Wi-fi

- It needs to be night time (all the way up until 5am)

- You cannot touch the device for at least 20 minutes (roughly)

Same. Stuck at 64% since iPhone 16 launch day.

Not working

My icloud is completely synced for all my photos but at the bottom of the photos app I keep getting optimizing library and it is stuck on 1% and tells me to leave phone charging over night. Has anyone experienced this and knows how to solve this?

I am having the same problem ever since iOS18 came out... stuck at 1%

i am facing the same issue, using an iphone 14 pro

i have around 200k photos and 20k video

it has been more than a week since i left the phone connected to the power and in sleep mode at night but it is still stuck at 34%

My iPad Pro is stuck at 25%. It’s been 5 days now since I’ve tried getting it to complete, putting it on charge, connected to WiFi overnight etc etc. and it will not optimise.

is it still on 25%

I have the same problem ‘ i follow all the instructions like charge the phone over night with WiFi ON etc..but issue not solved

Even with meeting all these requirements, mine is still stuck at 21%.
