I just updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 27 and I'm unable to search in my Photos App, search result 0. Anyone has this issue and please advise if you know how to fix this problem. Thank you!

With a new OS, Photos needs to re-scan all the images, and this could take a while--days if it's a large Library. So, find good wifi, plug the phone in, and leave it alone to let it do its work.


Check in after a day or so, and let us know how this goes…
