Thanks Jeff and Rudegar for your responses. This feature worked great in ios 17 on the same iphone but since upgrading to 26.3 I don't see it.
I've swiped up. Individual photos have geolocation but I just can't seem to get to the map where you can zoom in on the clusters based on the area desired. I tried swiping up but don't see the "i".
I've tried under Library as well as Collections. I've left the Library open for an hour but still don't see a "Map/Show Map" option.
95% of my photos that are stored in icloud/local phone were taken with an Iphone. Probably a 1000+ with this specific Iphone 16 with the others coming from Iphones 10, 11 and 12. Location has always been enabled and on the macbookpro, they all show a location and on the macbookpro, they all appear on the map based on where the photo was taken.
Scratching my head wondering what am I missing :(
