Q: icloud photo library slowing down the opening of apps

Hi, I wonder if anyone could shed some light on an issue I'm having. I have iCloud Photo Library in use on my MacBook Pro, iPhone 6S Plus and iPad Air 2. I've found that on my phone, if I open an app where I'd like to post a photo (Facebook, WeChat etc), there is a noticeable delay, as if Photos is connecting to iCloud to check for updates first. This sometimes leads to me waiting up to 30-40 seconds before I can do anything.

 

It's not just when posting photos. When I open ProCam, there is a 10-15 second delay before the thumbnail of the most recently taken photo appears in the bottom left corner. Until that thumbnail appears, I'm unable to do anything.

 

Obviously, this is frustrating to say the least! Is there any way I can stop the Photos app from doing this every time any app is trying to access it? Or do I need to turn off iCloud Photo Library if I want to use apps immediately?

 

I would appreciate any advice given!

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10.0.2
