Download pictures from iCloud

Hello,


I was using for more than a year an iPhone 5C with which I took many pictures and stored them on iCloud (free, 5 Go). There are 164 pictures and 10 videos, using 774.2 Mo. I switched for an iPhone 6 and haven't found a way to download them in it, I would like to see them as if I used this iPhone to take them, which means access to locations and metadata, original sizes...


Could you please help me, I'm using the latest iOS,


Thank you

Not sure what's going on here, but I would definitely leave the iPhone connected to power and Wi-Fi overnight.


You can also try Restarting your phone and/or to turn iCloud Photo Library Off and On, even though that will result in the downloads starting from the beginning.

When you switched to the new phone, did you restore it from the backup of the old one? That should have moved the photos over, irrespective of iCPL. If there aren't any files added since the backup was made, you might want to try this.

On the new phone log in using the same Apple ID as on the old one and enabled iCloud Photo Library. Launch the Photos app. It may take a bit of time to download the images from iCloud to your phone, but if you select a photo to view or edit, it will be given priority.


The metadata is stored with the photo image, but its not directly editable on an iPhone.
