All my photos have portrait mode disabled

I have an iCloud Photos Library with 90.000 pictures, all organized, tagged, synced with 3 Macs on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and my iPhone on iOS 11.3.

Are you using "Optimize Storage" with your iCloud Photo Library?

You may not be seeing the Depth effect, if the photo needs downloading from iCloud, because the the photo has been optimized.

There are now more users reporting the same problem. It may be a bug or caused by an updated algorithm for the processing of the Portrait mode photos. I noticed, that Portrait Mode photos are now looking slightly differently.

I'm having the same problem. I have hundreds of pictures and I don't want to enable the portrait mode in all of them. I've tried to take new portrait photos and after a while they have the portrait mode disabled. Hello, APPLE???

Apple is not here and the answer given explains what is currently known about this - posting MeToo posts or addressing Apple is a worthless excise and is wasting your time and ours

If a lot of people report having the same problem it's helpful to open Apple's eyes about the problem. There are people paid by Apple to keep an eye on the problems reported here. What you wrote is just an empty attempt to troll and THAT is a waste of my time and everybody else's.

I would love to see more of these posts, so we can find a common pattern to be able to understand what is causing this.

I suspect, the syncing with iCloud photo Library and the "optimize Storage" option are disabling the Portrait mode, when the photos get optimized or the updated algorithm does it, but we do not have much to go on. Unfortunately, the posts here do not give much detail about the iCloud settings or anything else that would help to find the common pattern.

Most posts I have seen about this problem are referring to Photos iOS.

Thank you for providing more details.

My iCloud is full so my phone hasn't backed up any photos in a long time...

That might be the problem in your case. If iCloud is running out of storage, Phots may not be able to sync the edits to iCloud. Try to get iCloud back to normal operating conditions - store less data i iCloud or upgrade the storage plan.

Same problem here, in order to find a common point for this problem, I’ll share my settings...

iphone x

ios 11

icloud storage 2 TB not even half full

optimize storage on iPhone and MacBook

portrait mode disappears when photos are synced on WiFi to iCloud.

Léonie, in my case, my phone is set to Download and Keep originals (meaning that Optimize storage is disabled). My iCloud is full so my phone hasn't backed up any photos in a long time...

I'll try. Even if it works, let's be honest that it would be a temporary solution. And in that case we would definitely see that it's a bug in iOS. But you've been very helpful Léonie. Thx

I'm having the same issue... has anyone managed to find a solution yet?!
