How to Speed Up iCloud Photo Uploads from your iPhone

Описание: Uploading a large photo library from an iOS device can be painfully slow. Here's a quick video to walk you through the steps I've used twice now to migrate large amounts of data to iCloud from my iPhone. Features custom captions for clarity.



The Zero-Sleep Method

1) Plug in your iPhone and connect to Wifi
2) Open settings
3) Go to display and brightness
4) Select Auto lock and set it "Never"
5) Return to settings and tap your profile
6) Tap iCloud
7) Make sure iCloud Photos is enabled and leave it on this screen....
.... and wait, this will take along time, depending on library size and your internet speed. This will not "speed up" uploading, rather keep it continously uploading.

A few users reported leaving it on the Photos screen worked as they could see the progress bar there. Also, if you're looking to keep things moving and have unlimited data or a huge data plan, you can enable unlimited updates.

Go to settings and scroll down and tap Photos
Tap Cellular Data
Warning, this will use a lot of cellular data! Toggle on Cellur Data and unlimited updates

This is a quick one-off tech tips style video as I've noticed lately on my blog, that a very old article from 2015 about how to speed iCloud Photos is getting a lot of traffic again. While updating it, I decided to film a video and make it a nice short YouTube video. This is as quick of a turn for any video I've made to date..

Hopefully you find it useful.
